Pakistan: No response yet from Imran on Iftikhar's challenge

There has been no response from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan to a debate challenge issued by Director Geo New Election Cell Iftikhar Ahmad to appear on his programme and substantiate allegations of Geo’s impartial election transmission of 2013. Over 250 hours (at the time this report was filed) have passed since Mr Ahmed issued the challenge to Imran Khan on May 02. Imran Khan had accused Geo News of playing a part in the alleged rigging of Elections 2013. Iftikhar Ahmad had invited Imran Khan and his team for a debate over the allegations. Iftikhar Ahmad said Imran Khan had issued a 100-page white paper over election rigging but did not mention the allegations against Geo News. He added that Imran Khan and PTI workers were continuously leveling allegations against Geo News.
