ECP has violated constitution by postponing Punjab elections till Oct: Imran Khan

La - PTI chairman Imran Khan has said that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has violated the constitution by postponing the Punjab elections till October.

Reacting to the postponement of the elections, he said: "Today everyone must stand behind the legal community – the judiciary and lawyers – with expectation that they will protect constitution. For if this is accepted today, then it is the end of rule of law in Pakistan."

We dissolved our 2 provincial legislatures with expectation that elections would be held in 90 days as clearly given in our Constitution. We did not take this action to allow a bunch of fascists to impose a reign of terror, violating the Constitution & Rule of Law.
