People had 'learnt from their mistake' & would not vote for Imran Khan again: Marriyum Aurangzeb.

ISLAMABAD -- Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb on Friday said that general elections would be held after the government completes its tenure, as she excoriated former prime minister Imran Khan and his governance.

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad, she said, "And when the elections are held this time, the mistake of the RTS's (Results Transmission System) failure will not happen again, Imran Khan sahib.

"This time, fog won't appear like it did in Daska. This time, ballot boxes will not be stolen like they were in Daska. This time, officers of the Election Commission of Pakistan will not go missing like they did in Daska."

The minister claimed that people had "learnt from their mistake" and would not vote for Imran Khan again, adding that they had realised that he was a "liar and a hypocrite".

Marriyum Aurangzeb said that the nation would decide for itself no matter what the ex-premier said, accusing him of trying to "malign" institutions.

"This campaign that you're running against the institutions ... We have taken notice of it," she said. "Sometimes you call strained relations with the establishment the reason for your government's fall. Sometimes you talk of a conspiracy.

"Let me tell you today, the reason for your ouster is you and your deeds," Marriyum Aurangzeb said, demanding an apology from Khan.
