Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Pervaiz Rasheed challenged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan to a parliamentary debate over the controversial Election Commission report regarding the election 2013 rigging.
Addressing to a press conference, Pervaiz Rasheed claimed that the sit-in protest leaders made 120 false allegations over a period of 30 days.
He said that the Quran recommends lashes for those who commit slander and backbite. He took one step ahead and said that the punishment of those who lie behind someone’s back is equivalent of eating the dead.
Rasheed further added that parliament is the best platform for democratic traditions and that those who lie avoid coming into the parliament.
Pervaiz Rasheed said that Imran Khan lied by terming observer’s report as Election Commission’s report, adding that none of the allegations leveled by Khan are mentioned in the observer’s report.
Rasheed also said that the commentators’ report nowhere mentions ’35 punctures’. He challenged Imran Khan into a debate in the parliament over the report.
