Talking to the media after holding a meeting with Khan at his Lahore residence, Haq said the PTI leader's reservations could not be removed.

Haq further said that Khan has assured him that he will not take any unconstitutional or illegal steps. Haq further stressed the government must not take any steps that will lead towards martial law.

"There was rigging in the elections and Imran Khan has ample proof. The Election Commission of Pakistain and Justice (retd) Fakhuruddin G Ibrhaim failed to carry out their responsibilities," the JI ameer said.

He further clarified that he wasn't a messenger from the government's side.

"The country is passing through a difficult time and all parties must work together to get out of this situation," Haq said.

He went on to add: "Long march and short march are the right of all parties. The government must not create any hurdles."
