Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) Central Leadership unveiled the plan for holding protest demonstrations in Islamabad during the month of Ramazan. The planned demonstrations in Islamabad are part of PTI's "Hakumat Hatao Mulk Bachao." This was announced during a press conference here at the party's Central Secretariat on Friday.
The press conference was addressed by Akbar S. Babar, Vice-President, Information and Media along with Zahid Kazmi, Media Advisor to the Chairman, and Colonel Yunus (Rtd), CEC member. On every Saturday in the month of Ramadan, the PTI would hold demonstrations in front of the Parliament House. The protest would start after Iftari and Tarawi prayers to be observed at the site of the demonstration. A series of events have been planned including speeches by prominent civil society members, politicians, taranas, and political skits by prominent artistes.
The PTI Chief Imran Khan would be present during the entire protest proceedings. At the last weekend of Ramadan, the PTI Chairman would announce the final stage of the movement with a deadline to the government to either resign or be forced out through people power. The PTI leaders urged civil society members, lawyers, and doctors, labourers, and women groups to fully participate in the protests and urged them to establish contact with the party's central secretariat for co-ordination.
The Central PTI leaders stated that the country cannot afford the continuation of the present government in power. Governance has all but collapsed. The so-called opposition is merely relying on political gimmickry and has failed to effectively provide real opposition to the government's loot and plunder in the country. The grand opposition alliance initiative of the PML-N has fizzled out due to complete distrust of PML-N's real intentions, which has so far only provided political crutches to the PPP government. The PTI Leaders stated that the crisis of governance and leadership has reached a boiling point and the only way forward for the democratic process to continue is through early elections.
