Legally embattled Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said Saturday his second in line, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, would lead the party if he gets disqualified.
He made these remarks on Saturday in a meeting with journalists and lawyers at his Zaman Park residence in Lahore.
“If I am disqualified, Shah Mehmood Qureshi will run the party,” Khan was quoted as saying in the meeting.
Commenting on mass departure of leaders from his party over May 9 vandalism, the PTI chief put up a brave face saying situation is going to change soon.
“I will give a big surprise in the coming days,” he added.
Khan said some party leaders were leaving the party under compulsion while some had been exposed.
Calling the youth major asset of his party, Imran said party ticket was their right and added that PTI will win the next general elections despite desertions of the party leaders.
He also called for holding a referendum to verify the popularity of his party among masses.
