Rawalpindi:
The founder of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, asked the public to attend the mass demonstration, scheduled for September 27 in Peshawar, describing it as a demonstration for the freedom of the nation.
“The voice of the media has been strangled. This demonstration is for the freedom of the nation. The party has received instructions that it is a success,” said Aleema Khan on Monday while talking to the media outside the Adiala prison, transmitting his brother’s message.
“He has said that the agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is very important, and that Pakistan must maintain his strong global links. He also said that protecting sacred mosques is an honor for us,” he said, citing the founder of the party.
He added that the former prime minister also pointed out the developments in the case of Toshakhana. “It has been shown that a false witness. The case should end on the basis of false testimony. The former military secretary also declared all valid documents. It seems that the case could conclude in the next two or three hearings,” he added.
Aleem expressed the hope that both Imran and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were released.
The founder of PTI reiterated his statement that his party had won two thirds of the majority, but the votes were stolen. “Our votes were stolen and delivered to the thieves. The convicted persons have been imposed on the nation. Morality has been buried in Pakistan. Amends 26 has completely suppressed the judiciary,” Aleema said citing the head of the party.
Imran praised the judges who, he said, had defended themselves by the rule of law, calling them “heroes of the nation.” Aleem added that Khan had assigned the responsibility of the demonstration to the leaders of PTI Ali Amin Gandapur and Junaid Akbar. She said Khan has asked her lawyers and party members to not get involved with the military establishment.
“For three years we tried for dialogue, but instead, our group was suppressed more. There is no benefit in conversations. Whoever wants to speak, should come to jail,” Imran cited.
Lawyer Gohar Khan
The president of the party, the lawyer Gohar Ali Khan, expressed on Monday support for the recently signed Mutual Defense Agreement of Pakistan-Saudi (SMDA), qualifying him welcome to strengthen bilateral security ties.
“Pakistan has always remained in the correct struggle, and this agreement consolidates our position even more,” Gohar said while talking to journalists in Rawalpindi.
He also underlined the need for an immediate meeting with the founder of PTI, emphasizing that the dialogue was vital to improve the political situation of the country.
Gohaha said he was not allowed to meet the founder today, but he expected the meeting to take place tomorrow. “The meetings are necessary since even the court has ordered them. If it is not allowed, the distances will only increase.”
The president of PTI added that the party worked strictly in the founder’s instructions, not on social networks. “No one can control social networks. Our agenda is not antistatal.
