Imran Khan to file suit against Pakistan EC

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday targeted the chief of the Election Commission of the country and announced that he will file a ₹ 10 billion defamation suit against him for destroying his reputation by disqualifying him.

Imran has announced that his objective was to gain Haqeeqi Azadi (real freedom) through the march to Islamabad which in his words was possible if free and fair elections are held immediately, reports NDTV.

Earlier this month, the former prime minister disqualified from membership of the current National Assembly by a five-member panel of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), which was headed by its chief Sikandar Sultan Raja.

Imran Khan alleged that the ECP's decisions against him in Toshakhana and prohibited funding cases were given on the instructions of the incumbent "imported government".
