Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has warned Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan not to make any attempts to block his protest rally in Islamabad on November 30. Addressing a mammoth gathering in Gujranwala on Sunday, Imran said that it was his democratic right to stage a peaceful protest, as his demand for probe into last year's general election was not met. "I am running out of patience now. I will confront if Nawaz Sharif and Chaudhry Nisar repeated August 30 violence on our peaceful protesters," he warned.
"As long as I am alive, I will keep fighting for my rights. I am not going anywhere without getting justice," he maintained.
"On November 30, there will be a decisive battle between status quo and us. It will be decided on the day whether they win or we form a Naya Pakistan," he said. Imran stated that his protest sit-in in Islamabad was not meant to become a prime minister, but to awaken the nation who was hostage at the hands of PML-N and PPP.
Both PML-N and PPP were keeping their assets abroad and wanted others to bring investment in Pakistan, he said, adding that he had declared his assets.
"I had only demanded vote re-count on just four constituencies, as I knew that once the investigation was carried out, the PML-N government would be exposed," he said. Imran asked who would be responsible if it was established after some time that the PML-N came into power through rigging. He said that state institutions would be responsible for the damages being caused by the PML-N government.
He called on Pakistanis not to let this opportunity to throw out the corrupt system go in van. "If we don't stand up now, our children would also become slaves of their (rulers) children," he observed. The PTI chief said that democracy was imperative for Pakistan.
He lamented that the government was least bothered about the poor, farmers, vendors and religious minorities. "Politics is a business for the rulers," he opined.
He said that he would reveal how rigging was done in the last year's general election. "I have evidence of rigging. We will first expose the rigging through press conference, than we will decide whether or not to go to Supreme Court," he added.
The PTI chief invited all political parties, trade unions, students and farmers to join his protest rally on November 30. "I invite the oppressed section of society to join my protest."
"Ishaq Dar gave affidavit that he did money laundering for Nawaz Sharif. If true, Nawaz must go to jail if not Ishaq to be arrested," he demanded.
He was of the view that the only reason PML-N govt was not willing to conduct local bodies elections was that it gave rights to public, which they did not want.
Imran said no minister could run his business in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under the new laws. Earlier, Imran said that he was thankful to Allah for waking up the nation. "The nation has woken up for Naya Pakistan," he said. "I'm very happy to read a letter from an 11-year-old, Safia, who wished me luck and said if I don't fulfil my promise, she will protest. The nation has awakened." "I thank the people of Gujranwala, especially the elders, families and women for giving such a warm welcome.
