Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Saturday demanded resignation from Federal Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique for Lodhran train crash that claimed lives of nine including six children. Khan made the statement while talking to media after sympathizing with the victims' families in Lodhran, along with party Secretary General Jehangir Tareen.

"Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique should resign after the tragic Lodhran train accident", Imran Khan demanded. He asserted that the train accident was caused by negligence on part of the management and this is not the first time that a terrible accident had occurred. Imran Khan suggested that the communication system should be improved. "If they had spent enough on railway crossing, the communication system would have improved", he added. Furthermore, he said that corruption in the country cannot be eradicated till big names are caught while National Accountability Bureau (NAB) only highlights people attempting small scale corruption.
