ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan will share his future course of action in his party’s nationwide protest today against rising inflation.
The former prime minister has called for peaceful protests across the country at 9 PM today (Sunday). He is expected to address the protestors at 10 PM where he will announce the future course of action.
Chairing a meeting of his party spokespersons on Saturday, the former prime minister said that the further strategy will be decided along with the nation in the protest. He said oppression and force cannot stop the people from raising their voices.
During the meeting, the PTI chairman congratulated the members, especially former energy minister Hammad Azhar, on Pakistan’s removal from the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) grey list.
Regarding the rising prices in the country, Imran Khan said that the PTI shielded the nation from global inflation. “The current government does not care about the people or the future of the country,” he said, adding that the “situation will be out of control if the economy was destabilised.”
Imran Khan further claimed that the “coalition government is putting the future of the nation at stake just to save themselves”. He alleged that the government is destroying the institutions to keep itself in power.
Former information minister Fawad Chaudhry called the people belonging to the big cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Multan, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi and Peshawar to protest against the “high inflation and lawlessness”.
Taking to Twitter, Fawad asked people to protest at Shah Abbas Chowk in Multan, Ghanta Ghar Chowk in Faisalabad, Commercial Market in Rawalpindi, F-9 Park in Islamabad, Liberty Chowk in Lahore, Shahrah-e-Qaideen in Karachi. He urged the people to protest with their families against the rising prices of petrol, diesel and other items.
