Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has asked his party workers to wait for his call to begin a ‘jail bharo tehreek’ (Fill the prison movement) in response to the federal government’s vengeful actions aimed at harassing and arresting his supporters.
Addressing the media via video link from his Lahore residence on Saturday, Imran said that he had two options: “Either we can take to the streets again or offer arrests and fill jails in the country.”

He added that the country’s current economic crisis is not being addressed by the newly installed government.
Additionally, he asserted that the majority of the current government’s interests are outside, thus they will soon depart the country.
Imran Khan added that Ishaq Dar had bowed down to the IMF despite making grandiose statements about working with the lender.
He claimed that in order to call for elections, the government is attempting to weaken the PTI.
انکا پلان واضح ہے کہ تحریک انصاف کے لوگوں کو ڈرا دھمکا اور پرچے کاٹ کر، نگران حکومت اور الیکشن کمیشن کو ملا کر تحریک انصاف کو کمزور کرکے انتخابات کرائے جائیں۔ عمران خان

He said that not only had PTI’s government raised the morale of the police in KP but also formed a forensic laboratory in 2017.
