(PTI) chief Imran Khan

on Friday said that his party would come out on the streets to stage protests for building a 'new Pakistain,' DawnNews reported.
Speaking to party workers during a ceremony held to mark the 18th anniversary of the PTI's foundation, he vowed to stage protests for 'true democracy' in the country on May 11 -- the day Paks observed historic first ever general elections on completion of tenure of a democratically elected government last year.
It should also be mentioned that Allama Tahirul Qadri has also announced a country-wide protest on May 11 next month. Qadri, with thousands of his followers, erupted into the streets in Islamabad in the run up to the historic May 11 polls demanding sweeping changes to the electoral system of the country.
Reiterating his allegation of poll rigging against ruling Pakistain Mohammedan League-Nawaz (PML-N), the PTI chief demanded the authorities to take the alleged culprits behind fixing "punctures" to task. He said that his party has neither accepted the results of the May 11 polls nor will they accept it in the future.
"People cast their votes to some people while others came out as victorious in the May 11 elections," he alleged.

last week, the PTI chief said that hurling allegations at Inter Service Intelligence (ISI) was shameful.
He demanded the Pemra to look into what he alleged as 'foreign funding' to certain media houses.
The cricketer-turned-politician said that only a stronger army will ensure a stronger Pakistain, demanding legal proceedings for the alleged culprits of election rigging.
