Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Pakistan’s previous Prime Minister, said the present government is “unfit to rule” because it is “oblivious to the pain of ordinary people,” and called on Prime Minister Imran Khan to resign.

According to Geo News, Khaqan, the head of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-B), declared at an anti-government demonstration in Peshawar that the administration was “not the people’s representative.”

Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said “events leading to the rigging of the 2018 elections” were gradually coming to light, and he reminded the public that former Chief Justice of occupied Gilgit-Baltistan Rana Shamim had accused ex-Chief Justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar of “playing a part in rigging” the elections.

Abbasi claimed that the government would now “rig” the forthcoming general elections in the same way that the Daska by-elections were “fixed.” “The legislation passed by Parliament will not solve the country’s challenges,” he continued.

The Peshawar rally was part of a larger series of rallies called by the Pakistan Democratic Movement, a coalition of opposition parties.

The PDM said earlier this month that it will stage nationwide protests as well as a protracted march to Islamabad to protest the government’s “anti-people” policies and inflation.
