Imran won't get an election date from Rawalpindi: Sanaullah

Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that PTI Chairman Imran Khan won't get a date for fresh elections from Rawalpindi.

"I will like to tell Imran Khan sahab that there is no purpose for this long march now. You say that you are coming to Rawalpindi for an election date. Imran Khan, you won't get a date for elections now," he said at a press conference on Friday.

"The establishment won't get you an election date [...] if someone had to give in to your blackmailing, you would have a date [...] but the establishment as an institution is standing on the decision that it won't step out of its constitutional role."

Sanaullah further said that if Imran wanted a date for elections he should "become a politician".

"Become a politician and meet your fellows [...] meet Zardari, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Akhtar Mengal, Khalid Magsi, Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui [...] discuss the elections with them [...] you can even meet Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif, they won't refuse," he added.
