ISLAMABAD: Chief of Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Friday announced that he and his party would boycott Geo and Jang over what he called "the group's role in rigging” during the national elections held last year.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Khan said the PTI would boycott the media group until it tenders an apology.
He said Geo was responsible for airing a victory speech of Nawaz Sharif at a time when the election results had not been fully counted and collated.
Earlier, Khan had also alleged that the media group had benefited from "siding with the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz".
Speaking to reporters today, Khan said his party would give out a document “exposing foreign funding" given to media groups based in the country.
He has also demanded that Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Tasadduq Hussain Jillani initiate proceedings against those behind what he called rigging in the May 2013 elections.
