“Moeed Pirzada, Irshad Bhatti have gone abroad […] earlier, Sabir Shakir left the same way. Arshad Sharif shaheed, who was standing on the path of justice, got threats […] he was silenced, removed from the channel and then martyred,” he told supporters in Sadhoke.
He went on to say that people on social media were receiving threats and were being oppressed.
“You should be ashamed of what you did to Azam Swati. What was his crime? A tweet in which he criticized the army chief,” he questioned. “What kind of a calamity was it that you had to inflict torture on him [Swati]?”

Pakistan is changing before your eyes: Imran
PTI Chairman Imran Khan told his supporters on Sunday that “Pakistan is changing before your eyes”.
In an address upon reaching Sadhoke, he said that there was only one difference between the society of animals and humans. “In the society of animals, the powerful can do whatever they want and the weak have no one to protect them.
“But in a human society, there is justice,” Imran claimed, adding that this was exactly the “revolution” Pakistan was seeing right now.

Addressing Long March participants, Imran Khan said “Shehbaz Sharif claimed I approached him to discuss appointment of new Army Chief,” adding Shehbaz must understand “I don’t talk to boot-polishers.” He said the entire life of Shehbaz Sharif spent doing boot-polish, he visited entire world as beggar.
Imran Khan said Shehbaz Sharif used to hide in the car’s truck and go for meeting [with key personalities], adding “why would I talk to you, I talked to those whom you used to meet secretly.” He said my talks revolved around single point agenda, i.e. free and fair general elections.
He said “I wasn’t grown up in some nursery, I didn’t use to call [General] Ayub as Daddy, didn’t install any iron bars at the residence of General Jilani.”
