PTI leader Babar Awan has demanded that a judicial commission be formed to investigate the alleged discrepancies in the Forms-45 issued by the Election Commission of Pakistan.

Speaking to the media outside the PHC, he asserted that the party would continue its “legal battle” to gain reserved seats in the assemblies.

Insisting that there were “only two ways” for the country to get out of the current crises, he said, “The first path is that all false cases and imaginary FIRs against Imran Khan be quashed.”

Stating that the “entire country has given Imran Khan the mandate”, the PTI leader said the mandate could not be “snatched by stealing it in any way”.

“When the PHC returned the bat symbol [to the PTI], who told the ECP to challenge it?” Awan asked.

Speaking alongside him, Senator Azam Swati appreciated the PHC and said “thieves have been imposed on the country”. Advocate Anwar called for a probe on those “who came into the offices of returning officers on the night” of the elections.
