I will give final call when I believe I can take three wickets in one ball, says PTI chief at RYK rally
\nislamabad
\nFormer prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said that his movement for \u201creal freedom\u201d against the coalition government will not stop until the announcement of early and transparent elections.
\n\u201cYou remain prepared I will give you [protest] call when my opponents believe that Imran Khan has given up and that day is not far,\u201d he said while addressing his party\u2019s power show in Punjab\u2019s Rahim Yar Khan district on Saturday.
\n\u201cI will give call when I believe I can take three wickets in one ball… I am monitoring the preparations of our activists and I will give call the day when I believe we are fully prepared.\u201d
\nImran said that his much-hyped call for next protest against the coalition government will be the last and added that after that call he would not stage any protest or hold long march.
\n\u201cThat call will be given to save Pakistan through free and transparent elections. We don\u2019t have any other way other than the elections to save the country.\u201d
\nWithout political stability and stable government, the country\u2019s economic woes cannot be solved, said Imran, adding that only free and transparent elections can bring stability to the economy and the country.
\nResponding to Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah\u2019s warning against marching on Islamabad, Imran while addressing him said it was his party\u2019s democratic right to stage peaceful protest. \u201cThis person [Rana Sanaullah] who should be in jail is lecturing us on democracy.\u201d
\n\u201cRana Sanaullah, listen with open ears that this time we will come with \u2018full planning\u2019. Everyone knows what Rana Sanaullah will do but no one knows what I will do,\u201d he said while referring to violence his party workers were subjected to during their short-lived long march in May.
\n\u201cI have never witnessed such an awareness among masses which I am witnessing today\u2026 I have never seen my nation coming out of their homes during hot weather,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Imran said no one can get high-profile position in this government unless without committing any major crime.<\/p>\n
\u201cNeither we stopped opposition during my government from staging protest nor we created hurdles and did not place any containers\u2026 instead we offered food to their participants,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
At the start of his address Imran thanked the supporters for turning up in large numbers and waiting for his speech. \u201cThey [PM Shehbaz and his delegation] are staying at expensive hotels to show-off to those from whom he [PM Shehbaz] is asking donations,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
PM Shehbaz was imposed upon the country not because he had any leadership qualities but because he would take dictation from all powers including IMF, he added.<\/p>\n
The PTI chief said the country has no future if such corrupt leaders, including PM Shehbaz and his son, who were set to be indicted in money laundering case, continued to rule it.<\/p>\n
Imran said they had given themselves an NRO and closed down corruption cases worth Rs1,100 billion. \u201cForeign powers imposed corrupt leaders so that they can be controlled easily.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we accept the theft of Rs11,000 billion and slavery of these \u2018imported rulers\u2019 then we have no future.\u201d Taking a jibe at PM Shehbaz for seeking donations from international community for flood victims, Imran said the country would have to compromise on national interest by receiving foreign aid as \u201cthere is no free lunch\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said incumbent rulers were trying to disqualify him as they are scared of the people\u2019s power. \u201cFour people have made a decision behind closed doors to have me assassinated… they are still working on this plan,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n
As part of the assassination plot, Imran said PML-N leaders Javed Latif and Maryam Nawaz distorted his remarks during a press conference to provoke the people to attack him and would later term it an attack by \u201creligious fanatics\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
