ISLAMABAD: The plane carrying Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was landed right away after experiencing a technical fault, Bol News reported quoting sources.

The sources said Imran Khan’s plane made emergency landing at the Islamabad airport five minutes after its taking off, as it underwent an issue.

The pilot safely brought down the special aircraft.

On September 9, Imran Khan had said the Election Commission of Pakistan had postponed the by-polls in hope for his disqualification from the court.

In an interview with Senior Anchorperson Bol News Sami Ibrahim, Imran Khan had said when they heard the court’s remarks, they thought that something could happen to Imran Khan such as he could be disqualified.

So they thought that why not they wait for his disqualification and then announce the polls, he had maintained.

On postponement of the by-elections, the former prime minister had said the coalition government lost the by-elections in Punjab despite enormous support from the ECP.

“They chose seats where the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) was apparently strong but after seeing the massive crowd attending the PTI rally in Chishtian where the PML-N was supposed to be strong they decided to postpone the elections,” he had said. He had said the people of Chishtian were aware of everything.

The PTI chief had said never in the country’s history inflation had boosted so much. Imran feared shortage of grains this year because of flooding.

He had dared former president Asif Ali Zardari to visit any place in Sindh without protocol. He had said people would beat him as the people of Sindh were fed up of the Zardari mafia.

Imran Khan had said flood affected Sindh the most because there was no drainage system for flood, while the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administration swung into action and took measures to drain the water despite receiving heavy rains.
