Lahore (Tahir Chuhdary)_Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Saturday announced to take to the streets from next week, as well as stating that if elections are not held on May 14, he will personally lead protests.
The PTI rally started from Zaman Park in Lahore to express solidarity with the Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Atta Bandial. The rally was led by Imran Khan and went from Zaman Park to Lakshmi Chowk.
Addressing the rally, he accused former army chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa of replacing the commander on Bilawal’s request, and expressed concerns over the lack of attention given to the attacks on his life. He vowed to continue his fight for fair elections and criticised the lack of interest for the nation’s well-being.
Earlier today, in a video message to the workers at the start of the rally, the PTI chairman urged them to join him and come out of their homes in support of the Constitution, the Supreme Court, and the Chief Justice. He emphasised the importance of the rally and encouraged his supporters to show their solidarity.
The former prime minister urged everyone to step out of their houses for an hour to support the Constitution, the Supreme Court, and the Chief Justice, adding that if the country’s constitution is violated, the nation will be destroyed. He also warned that failing to abide by the Supreme Court’s decision would ultimately lead to the demise of the constitution
Mr Khan said, “If this happens, there will be no future for the country and your children.”
In his recent social media message, the former premier called on people to join them today at 5.30 pm to show their solidarity with our Constitution and the Chief Justice. The ousted premier said it was high time to fight for ‘our country, to demand our rights, and to stand up for the Constitution’.
Commenting on the FM Indian tour, he said that Pakistan is being humiliated all over the world, Bilawal Bhutto went to India and brought disgrace to Pakistan.
Khan also criticized the remarks made by Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, who called Bilawal “a promoter, justifier, and spokesperson of a terrorism industry.
“It is the entire nation’s decision to stand with the Constitution and [against] the way this mafia is putting pressure on and doing propaganda against the chief justice and [other] judges,” Khan said while referring to the incumbent coalition government.
“When a country’s Constitution is violated, it means the justice system and the rule of law have ended. Most of all, it means that the nation has lost its freedom and become slaves.
“We will not rest till elections are held and Pakistan is free,” he stressed.
