The Hindu  

Jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's party on June 23 reiterated its demand for Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja’s immediate resignation for failing to hold “free and fair” elections and protested against the "injustices" being committed against the party, according to media reports. “Leaders of 71-year-old Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, along with other National Assembly members, led a protest rally from the Parliament to the Election Commission of Pakistan on the Constitution Avenue in Islamabad,” The Express Tribune newspaper reported. Led by Leader of Opposition and party leader Omar Ayub, the protesters demanded the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner Raja and election commission members for alleged poll rigging. Addressing the rally, PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Khan said, “The doors of courts have been closed on Opposition leaders; our women are in jail, and history will remember them.” He said that it was a matter of regret that all the Parliamentarians were coming out on the streets and protesting for the release of PTI founder Khan,” the report said.
