ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan expressed gratitude to the Pakistani nation and party workers who stood up for their rights and were involved in peaceful protest.
In a message from Adiala jail, the former prime minister, who is currently imprisoned in Adiala Jail, has directed protestors to stand firm for their demands and true freedom in the face of the mafia [incumbent government] that has imposed itself on the country.
Imran Khan also ordered his party leadership to fight till the end and should not head back until demands are met.
Those who have not reached yet should also reach D-Chowk, he said, adding that all Pakistanis participating in the protest should remain peaceful, united, and steadfast until our demands are met. “This is a struggle for the survival and true freedom of Pakistan.”
“On the instructions of Mohsin Naqvi, the Rangers, and police personnel fired straight bullets and teargas to injure our peaceful protestors. He will have to answer for it,” the former premier said.
“The citizens were not only peaceful but also kept rescuing the police and Rangers who were shelling and firing.”
Khan also expressed gratitude to the overseas Pakistanis for sending funds to mobilise people in Pakistan, and also for holding historic demonstrations in their respective countries.
“Social media warriors should also continue to provide full coverage of our demands and the ongoing oppression in Pakistan around the world,” he said in his message.
The jailed former premier also warned, “Those [establishment] who have threatened me with a trial in a military court, do whatever you want, I will not back down from my stance.”
