Bringing powerful under rule of law is our goal: Imran Khan

Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday said that the nations are destroyed not by lack of resources but by corruption and bringing the powerful under the rule of law is the goal of our struggle and we will definitely win the war against mafia.

In his message on PTI s 25th Foundation Day, he said that he had announced to form a political party 25 years ago and the purpose for the formation of the party was to rid the country of corruption.

The prime minister said that first 15 years were the first phase of our struggle, then slowly the youth joined him and then the politicians joined the party.

He said youth played a cardinal role in PTI s rise and acceptability among the masses and public rally of October 30, 2011 in Lahore took him and his party to new heights of popularity.

Imran Khan said he demanded of the government of the day to open four constituencies to gauge the level of rigging, but these demands fell on deaf ears. Consequently, the party organized a 126-day long sit-in in Islamabad, but no attention was given to electoral reforms.

The PM said now the PTI government is working on introducing internationally recognized electronic voting machines to make the election process credible.

The premier went on to say that he learned in the cricket ground not to back away, adding that a successful person is one who dreams and fulfills his dreams.

He said he faced immense hardships in his struggle to uphold rule of law and remained steadfast in his determination.
