New Delhi, Feb 18: Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaaf’s (PTI) Prime Ministerial candidate Omar Ayub Khan on Sunday said that his party will form the government in the Centre and provinces, media reports said.

Earlier, following the allegation of rigging against the Pakistan Election Commission and a fractured mandate, the PTI had said that the party will sit in opposition. Dawn newspaper quoted Ayub as saying that the crackdown against the PTI is still continuing.

Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, he said, “Even now, police are picking up our workers and leaders and pressuring them. This was not the job of any caretaker setup. They exceeded their mandate.”

Pakistani and international media has reported that the general election, held on February 8, was massively rigged by the country's establishment after the common people had voted for Imran Khan-led PTI.
