PTI’s movement for 'Haqeeqi Azaadi' to begin on Saturday: Imran Khan

Lahore: PTI’s movement for “Haqeeqi Azaadi” (actual freedom) will start on Saturday (September 24), PTI Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan said on Wednesday.

He called on supporters to get ready for his call to support his demand for "fair and free" snap elections.

Addressing a lawyer's convention in Lahore, Khan hoped the election announcement would be made before he unveiled plans for the final march on Islamabad.

The PTI leader made it clear that he would give a call and would get Pakistan liberated in real terms.

Imran’s announcement comes after the federal government beefed up security arrangements in Red Zone areas of Islamabad, saying that “some people were headed towards Islamabad to have their political demands accepted”.

The former premier again said those “issuing threats from unknown numbers” should be threatened back, something he had first mentioned in his speech in Chakwal on Monday.

Lambasting the incumbent government for its economic policies, Khan said the rupee had greatly depreciated against the dollar and caused inflation and unemployment to soar.

He alleged that while the poor people were suffering, the wealth of those in the government was increasing. Imran also bemoaned the rule of law and unequal application of justice in the country compared to western countries.

The PTI stalwart lamented the recent clamp down on some journalists -- who were thought to be pro-PTI, adding in western countries, no one received threats from unknown numbers 

“The law enforcement agencies whose job it is to implement the rule of law are the ones breaking the law and committing injustice against the people.”
