The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has given a two-week deadline for the release of its jailed party founder, Imran Khan.
The deadline was given by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur while addressing a public rally in Islamabad on Sunday.
“If the founder of PTI is not legally released within one to two weeks, we will have him freed ourselves,” the chief minister said, declaring that he would take the lead and the first bullet.
The public rally began with PTI leader Hammad Azhar’s address. He signaled the launch of a Punjab movement and urged party workers to “be ready”.
Party leader Sher Afzal Marwat also reiterated the same and said they will soon hold rallies in Punjab for the release of jailed Imran and the supremacy of law and the Constitution.
“We will enter Punjab with 50,000 people from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa within a week,” he said, adding that they will even set off on foot and face the tear gas.
Meanwhile, party leader Muhammad Ali Khan said they had never thought Imran Khan would be jailed, lamenting that many other PTI leaders, including Qasim Suri, Shehryar Afridi, and Murad Saeed, had been forced to leave the country.
Listing the former ruling party’s demands, Ali Khan demanded that those who came to power on the back of Form 47 release the PTI founder, warning that otherwise, “you will be swept away by the sea of people.”
He also called for the restoration of the supremacy of the Constitution and the rule of law.
