ISLAMABAD: PTI Chairman Imran Khan Tuesday said that preparations by the coalition government to “rig the by-elections in Punjab” were underway.<\/p>\n

The by-elections in Punjab will take place on July 17 for 20 provincial constituencies after the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) unseated 25 PTI MPAs for voting against party lines.<\/p>\n

Talking about the increase in electricity loadshedding across the country, Khan claimed that there were no such issues when he was in power. “The PML-N signed the agreements on power project, yet our party did not increase the prices,” the ex-PM highlighted.<\/p>\n

He urged people to come out on the streets to protest against inflation and the coalition government.<\/p>\n

Last week, Khan announced that he will hold a public gathering next week at Islamabad’s Parade Ground. He said that he is gathering people from Islamabad and Rawalpindi to join him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
