Former prime minister Imran Khan has said that the Punjab government imposed Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) to hamper the upcoming show of power by PTI candidates.

He was speaking to media persons after attending proceedings of GBP190 million, Toshakhana, and cipher cases.

Imran told media persons that the caretaker government, a few individuals in the establishment and the Election Commission of Pakistan are united against his party.

He claimed that PTI had an overwhelming vote bank within the armed forces and the party would not be deterred whatever coercive measure were adopted to suppress its voice.
