Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan has said the main objective behind formation of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was to bring powerful and corrupt people under the law.
In his video message on PTI’s 25th Foundation Day, he said he came to politics to ensure supremacy of law in the country.
He said he faced immense hardships in his struggle to uphold rule of law and remained steadfast in his determination.
The Prime Minister said those are the worst politicians, who make money through corruption, but rare politicians consider serving common people as worship.
He said youth played a cardinal role in PTI’s rise and acceptability among the masses and public rally of 30 October 2011 in Lahore took him and his party to new heights of popularity.
He said this led to party’s victory in 2013 and PTI managed to form government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, despite massive rigging in the general elections.

Imran Khan said he demanded of the government of the day to open four constituencies to gauge the level of rigging, but these demands fell on deaf ears. Consequently, the party organized a 126-day long sit-in in Islamabad, but no attention was given to electoral reforms.
The Prime Minister said now the PTI government is working on introducing internationally recognized electronic voting machines to make the election process credible.
