ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Thursday called on the people to hold demonstrations across the country against the government this Sunday.
In a video message he told his party workers and supporter: “ This Sunday, all of you have to hold peaceful demonstrations at 9pm and I will address all of you via video link at 10pm.”
Khan also invited political parties and women to join the PTI’s protest against rising inflation. “It is our democratic and constitutional right to protest; we have always held peaceful protests.” He added.
In a scathing attack on the government, Khan said: “I want to give a message to these people: If you could not handle the affairs of the country, then why did you conspire?”
Khan said the government is claiming that his party installed “landmines” for the incoming set-up as it was unable to manage affairs.
“Why did you derail a country that was moving in the right direction. [You] did it just to save your corruption,” the PTI chairman lashed out at the coalition government.
Khan said the government, giving reasons for the rising inflation is stating that there is an international crisis, therefore, it has impacted Pakistan as well.
“You have understood this now? We were facing these issues as well. I repeatedly stated that we were saving our people from inflation despite a global increase in prices,” Khan said.
