Sharif's resignation, early polls main objectives: Imran
2014-08-07
[DAWN] The Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
formally announced on Tuesday that its demand for early elections was the bare minimum the party would settle for on August 14.

However,
you can observe a lot just by watching...
addressing a crowded presser, PTI Chairman Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the brightest knife in the national drawer...
said he would unveil the complete blueprint of how to have free and fair elections on the day of long march, which the party has named the 'Azadi March'.

"The resignation (of) Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf...
followed by re-elections will be the main demand of the long march," Mr Khan said when pressed by news hounds for details of his plans for the Independence Day demonstration.

"I will present a complete set of demands and the way to achieve them on August 14," he said.

Asked if the PTI's march on the capital and the demands for early elections were not paving the way for 'undemocratic forces', Mr Khan replied that he was struggling for true democracy, as the country right now was under 'one-family rule'.
