Retired Brigadier Muzaffar Ali Ranjha, former chief of the Punjab branch of the Military Intelligence (MI), has rejected Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan’s claim that the army helped the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz win the 2013 elections, saying such an allegation coming from a party leader after the inquiry into the poll rigging by the judicial commission is ‘deceitful’.
Mr Ranjha advised Mr Khan to get his rigging allegations probed by another commission if he was still not satisfied, sarcastically saying if he failed to prove his claim, the punishment should not be less than hanging.
“Did he (Imran Khan) not get answer from the judicial commission headed by then chief justice of Pakistan Nasirul Mulk that completely rejected his allegations? If he is still not satisfied and not ready to abandon his rigging idea, then I ask him to get these again probed by another commission comprising three persons, one each from the army, the judiciary and the media. Before this I ask him to give an undertaking along with me to be ready to go for capital punishment in the wake of its (commission) report,” retired Brig Ranjha said while talking to Dawn on Friday.
