"In 2013 general elections the MQM, PPP and PML-N had first selected their own umpires (ECP...then with their collusion the three parties rigged 2013 elections in their respective areas. No wonder afterwards they all got together to prevent the PTI from holding an investigation.
Hence, the dharna (was staged) by the PTI," he tweeted. He further said that the vote bank of the PML-N stood high in the elections just due to the rigging, adding: "Now it must be clear to all how the PML-N vote bank went from 6.8 million in 2008 to 15 million in 2013."
He justified his 2014 126-day sit-in and said, "We were right in doing the dharna to get an investigation so the next elections would be free and fair.
