Imran Khan, the head of the PTI, said on Friday, “I stopped the Azadi March to stop the violence.” This was to dispel rumors that his party had made a deal with the ruling class.
After the country descended into chaos and the army was called in to protect government buildings in Islamabad’s Red Zone, Khan issued a surprise six-day deadline to the government to unveil the date of the election. He also threatened to return with 3 million people if the government failed to do so.
During a news conference held a day after the violent long march came to an abrupt stop, PTI leader Atif Khan claimed he saw a rise in public resentment following the police crackdown on party officials in key towns.
“After what the police did to stop the march, I saw a rise in public animosity toward them.” Taking everything into consideration, the country would have descended into disorder and anarchy if we had completed our march as planned.
The government “brutally” beat up protesters, said the head of the PTI, who also said that the Interior Minister sent the police officers he wanted to crack down on the protesters.
Negotiations are ‘opening up.
Because he didn’t want to accept what he called “foreign enslavement,” the PTI chairman promised to come up with a plan in the next six days and go back out onto the streets if that was necessary.
I’m appealing to the entire country: I’ve begun a jihad against them [the government]. “In this regard, the Supreme Court has a significant role to play.” The former prime minister made the statement.
The head of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) said in an interview that his party would be well-prepared for the next protests, adding that the PPP desires the Supreme Court’s support.
According to the protest leader, a crackdown on protesters would have serious consequences if it were used in the next part of the march.
“Our people will not be arrested from their homes,” the ex-premier remarked while joking about the administration. “People were under the assumption that demonstrating was their democratic right.”
According to the cricketer-turned-politician, internet bandwidth was reduced on May 25, the day of the long march. As a result, the PTI believed the roadblocks and impediments would be removed.
We’ll hold our march once we organize it because we know what the government can do. To avoid additional disruption, we will not do anything, but let me be clear: I will not tolerate a government comprised solely of perpetrators. “
No matter how adamant Khan was about his dissatisfaction with things as they were, the former premier did concede that “doors were open for dialogue,” adding that “a requirement for talks with the government would be that it schedule quick elections in June.”
argues in favor of KP CM’s involvement.
Khan also said, in defense of his participation in the protest, that KP CM Mahmood is a Pakistani citizen who has the right to speak out against the government.
After Sanaullah, in an interview with Geo News, said that the federal government had decided to pursue legal action against Mahmood, the PTI chairman backed him.
“(Azadi March) is an attack on the federal government,” stated the security chief of the nation, referring to KP’s involvement in the event. On the subject of taking action against the KP CM, he said his department has consulted with the law ministry.
The SC electoral changes are to be challenged by the PTI.
Moving on, PTI Chairman Asif Ali Zardari said that his party would go to the Supreme Court to challenge the new election rules in Pakistan’s National Assembly.
On the same day, the National Assembly voted to repeal the PTI government’s election reforms that allowed Pakistanis living abroad to cast their ballots using i-Voting and electronic voting equipment (EVMs).
He said ex-opposition leaders repeatedly turned down Khan’s invitation to discuss EVMs and voting rights for Pakistanis living abroad.
According to the former prime minister, “fake vote” supporters are frightened of computerized voting machines. “Why shouldn’t we use electronic voting machines here in the United States?” All of the elections in this country are highly contested. “
‘Attending to bring people together
When a reporter asked him hard questions, Khan said he was ready to give a hard-hitting answer but didn’t want to.
It was made clear to him that no one “conquers” a country; rather, they are elected into office, as his administration was in 2018.
Khan stated that he was not opposed to the “corrupt” individuals in power, but rather that they wanted to ensure that no one could complain about the outcome of the elections.
PTI leader Imran Khan stated he was not a part of a group that was instigating people. In other words, “We’re attempting to bring people together without separating them along ethnic lines.”
“You made a speech during a press conference instead of asking questions,” Khan said as he stood up in rage.
The statement also included a letter from Khan to Pakistan’s Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial. In the letter, Khan asked Bandial if demonstrating is a democratic right of the people.
According to him, “I have written to Pakistan’s top justice, requesting him to make the issue clearer.” I want to urge the judiciary that we take every demand as a flock, “
