ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice President Fawad Chaudhry has announced that PTI will approach the judiciary about PEMRA’s ban on the former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s live speeches, terming the order unconstitutional.
Fawad lashed out at the “imported government” in presser in Islamabad on Sunday and challenged the government to compete with Imran politically instead of banning the live telecast of his speeches.
He said that if they did not like Imran or his speeches, they should reply to him in the field instead of resorting to propaganda or ban.
“We are starting the public movement from Rawalpindi today. We hope the government will not force us to start the second phase before September 10,” he added.
Fawad stated that Imran was the crowd puller, not these thieves because only he could take out a rally on 24-hour notice.
“Imran Khan neither said anything illegal nor threatened anyone in the rally, but just spoke about legal action against those responsible [for the treatment meted out to Dr Shahbaz Gill],” he added.
Talking about Gill’s “torture”, Fawad reiterated his demand that a three-member independent panel consisting of Dr Shireen Mazari, Khwaja Saad Rafiq and Mustafa Khokar should be constituted to bring the truth before the masses.
Coming down hard on the imported government, Fawad stated that the “cabal of thieves” could not dare to come before the masses because they were scared of possible public reaction.
He said that the imported government ruined the country as these crooks reversed all the hard-earned gains of the PTI government in a short span of time.
“It is unfortunate that Rana Sanaullah is the interior minister of Pakistan as what he stated against state institutions in his speeches in the Punjab Assembly, one cannot repeat his words in public,” he added.
The PTI leader stated that Sanaullah himself has once endured violence, but he has taken Gill’s “torture” as an ordinary issue.
