Imran Khan announces start of Islamabad march in last week of May

Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf will begin the anti-government march towards Islamabad in the last week of May, former prime minister Imran Khan announced Saturday.

"We will be giving this call to all Pakistanis, not just PTI supporters, as Pakistan has been insulted after the country's most corrupt people were imposed on us by a foreign power," Khan said in a video statement.

Khan as PM was shown the door on April 10 after the National Assembly voted against him on the no-confidence motion.

In his message released today, the former prime minister said the preparations for the long march would begin on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr and urged the youth to come out on the streets with PTI's flags in their hands.

"You will have to tell the world that Pakistan is a nation that is alive and once the preparations begin, our next target will be Islamabad," the PTI chairman said.

He said he believed that a sea of people will storm Islamabad and give a clear message to the people:

"From now on, no one from abroad can impose a corrupt government on us. Pakistani people will decide Pakistan's fate."

The former premier predicted that the march to Islamabad would be the "biggest" in Pakistan's history and a "sea of people" would flood into the city with the message that no foreign country would be able to place a corrupt group over Pakistanis and nation will make its own decisions.
