While speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, PTI leader Omar Ayub Khan urged political parties to accept the mandate of the people.

“These parties, who haven’t even won so much as 40 seats, they and everyone else need to listen to the what the people are saying, which is that they have accepted Imran Khan as prime minister and they want a better Pakistan,” he said.

He remarked that PPP and PML-N were the beneficiaries of rigging in the Feb 8 polls and were “waiting to see who stabs the other in the back first”.

“Fazlur Rehman said what Imran Khan said before, that this vote of no-confidence against PTI was an engineered process,” Khan said. “He admitted this, and this is the biggest endorsement.”

He also noted that 30 million people voted for PTI and Imran Khan because they were “the only ones capable of removing Pakistan from this slump and putting it on the right track.”
