Imran Khan To Lead PTI's Election Rally Tomorrow

Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman says: "I will lead election rallies to show them that we are not domesticated animals."

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan announced on Saturday that he will lead the party's election headquarters from Lahore tomorrow (Sunday) at 2 pm.

Khan urged Tehreek-e-Insaf members and supporters to prepare for tomorrow and said that he would personally lead a demonstration tomorrow to find out how many real coalition parties are with him.

It was the first demonstration in more than four months led by Khan, who mobilized the group from his residence at Zaman Park in the Punjab capital. The PTI chief stayed at home as he recuperated from injuries sustained last year.

Khan was shot in the leg on November 3 as he waved to a crowd from a container truck while leading a protest march to Islamabad to force the government to hold early elections. . But it did not succeed in Rawalpindi.

"Lead the election rallies to show them that we are not domestic animals," the former prime minister, who was ousted last April, told party members via video link.

Speaking to the party members, Khan said that the "strong" faction wants to cancel the upcoming general elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at any cost.

"They will try to cancel the vote by killing him or blowing up a bomb [...] I know they will do anything to prevent the vote," the PTI chief added.

Tehreek-e-Insaf was scheduled to hold a rally on Wednesday, but the interim Punjab government invoked Article 144 (prohibition of public gatherings) citing "security threat" to ban police and party members, leading to clashes.

After the clashes, Tehreek-e-Insaf worker Bilal Ali was found dead, and the party claimed that the Punjab police were involved in his murder, but Punjab Acting Chief Mohsen Naqvi said:

The Tehreek-e-Insaf chief also called the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) "impartial" and held it responsible for the "brutal murder" of Bilal, popularly known as Zil Shah.

Jill Shah's martyrdom hurt not only me, but the whole country."

Responding to Naqvi reporters, Khan said that the statements of various people are being made public to "cover up" the issue and said that the killing should be shameful.

Khan took the guns to the center and said that "psychopaths" (whom he also called "Dirty Harry") were spreading hatred in the country. He asked to resign, but was refused his appointment.

The deposed prime minister said: "When the whole country was behind the Tehreek-e-Insaf Party, they were afraid of us."

Khan accused Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Supreme Leader Nawaz Sharif and said "runners" were deciding the country while sitting in London. The court declared him a "state criminal".

Urging the Judiciary to play its role, the Tehreek-e-Insaf leader said that the Judiciary is the only obstacle to the current government's transformation of Pakistan into a "banana republic".
