PTI chief says Shahbaz Gill is being tortured to spread fear among masses
Islamabad
Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday urged the “neutrals” — a tacit reference to the establishment — to stand with the people and justice instead of thieves.
“I want to tell my neutrals that this is a problem of Pakistan [hence] it’s imperative for you to stand with people and justice instead of thieves,” he said while addressing the supporters at a rally in Islamabad.
He also questioned the conduct of establishment, saying, “Are you really neutral as you told us ‘we are neutral’ when foreign conspiracy was being hatched and you refused to interfere”.
Imran said when they approached the Islamabad police and Adiala jail authorities to inquire as to who was involved in torturing Gill. “They told us that they were receiving orders from the ‘top’.”
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) took out a rally in Islamabad from Zero Point to F-9 Park in support of incarcerated leader Shahbaz Gill, who the party said subjected to “gruesome torture” in police custody.
Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan led the rally to record protest against “blatant fascism prevalent under imported regime”.
PTI Senator Faisal Javed Khan in a tweet had said that Imran will address the protesters and his speech will be live telecast at other rallies being taken out by party leaders in divisional headquarters across the country.
