Pak Purge: Free and fair elections can be held minus Imran Khan: PM Kakar
[GEO.TV] With the general elections having come closer, Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar has said that free and fair polls can be held even without incarcerated 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....
Chairman Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five...
— who is currently serving a three-year sentence in Attock jail in the Toshakhana corruption case.

Last week, the Election Commission of Pakistain (ECP) announced that general elections will occur by the end of January 2024.

In an interview with The News Agency that Dare Not be Named on Friday, PM Kakar said: "Free and fair elections can take place without [Imran] Khan or hundreds of members of his party who are jugged
Please don't kill me!
because they engaged in unlawful activities including vandalism and arson."

The May 9 riots were triggered almost across the country after the deposed prime minister's arrest in the £190 million settlement case. Hundreds of PTI workers and big shots were put behind bars for their involvement in violence and attacks on military installations.

During the protests, the miscreants targeted the civil and military installations including — Jinnah House and the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi. The military termed May 9 "Black Day" and decided to try the protesters under the Army Act.

Responding to a question, PM Kakar said that those PTI activists, who are serving jail sentences, were involved in arson attacks, vandalism and other illegal activities.

"Thousands of PTI activists who did not engage in unlawful activities can partake in the upcoming elections," he added.
