LAHORE – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan announced on Sunday that his part would now hold a public meeting at Minar-e-Pakistan on Wednesday (March 22) instead of Monday (March 20).
Taking to Instagram, Khan said the government had allowed them to hold a public meeting at Minar-e-Pakistan on Monday, but they backtracked on it later and cancelled the permission given to his party. He said the March 22 rally at Minar-e-Pakistan would be a public referendum. He said he wanted everyone to see which side the Pakistani nation was standing with and which side the gang of plunderers and criminals and their handlers were standing with.
Without naming Pakistan’s military establishment, Khan asked them to mend their ways and come out of the mindset that they could herd the Pakistani nation whichever side they would like to. He warned that the situation could spiral out of control. He said that nobody could stop an awakened nation.
“Once out of the bottle, the giant of awareness could not be sent back into the bottle,” he said in his latest video message to the Pakistani nation. He said, “You would not be able to control what I am seeing or what I saw yesterday.”
Khan was ousted from prime minister’s office on April 10, 2022, allegedly through a “regime change operation” led by the then army chief, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, with the covert support of the United States of America.
As a counter move, Khan’s party quit the parliament and launched a vigorous campaign for early elections. Currently, the coalition government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is allegedly trying to remove Khan from the political scene in one way or the other.
