\u201cWe will continue our struggle till the nation gets its rights via elections,\u201d Imran Khan says
\nSIALKOT
\nPTI Chairman Imran Khan Wednesday dubbed his \u201cAzadi March\u201d as the \u201cbiggest freedom movement\u201d in the country\u2019s history after getting a boost from the top court\u2019s decision.
\n\u201cMy heart believes it will be the biggest freedom movement in the history of Pakistan. We will continue our struggle till the nation gets its rights via elections,\u201d Khan told a party event in Sialkot.
\nThe Supreme Court earlier rejected the federal government\u2019s request to immediately stop the long march to Islamabad, with Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial advising the government to hold talks with the former prime minister.
\nThe long march to Islamabad will kick off on October 28 (Friday) from Lahore\u2019s Liberty Chowk in the morning despite the government\u2019s repeated warnings to Khan.
\nBefore it approached the top court, the government issued repeated warnings to the PTI chief, with a top official saying that the authorities would multiply their May 25 policy by 10 if Khan announces another long march. If the PTI holds another long march, then it would be the second time they would be coming to Islamabad. The last march was held on May 25 and ended with Khan abruptly calling off the march after reaching Islamabad.
\n\u201cThe old and the new workers should start mobilising. This is not a war for power or politics, but a war against a foreign conspiracy, which resulted in the installation of thieves on us,\u201d Khan told his supporters.
\nThe ex-prime minister said his long march aimed at securing \u201creal\u201d independence for the nation by defeating the ruling \u201cdacoits\u201d.
\n\u201cAll the sacrifices [for Pakistan] will be in vain if the gang of thieves keeps ruling us. I will depart from Lahore on Friday. This will be Pakistan\u2019s biggest freedom movement.\u201d
\nKhan said his struggle would continue until the day the nation is allowed to elect its representatives as against the \u201cAmerican slaves who are imposed on us repeatedly\u201d.
\nIssuing a warning of his own to the federal government, the ex-premier told Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah to gear up as he and his \u201chandlers\u201d would witness a sea of people in the capital.
\nLashing out at authorities, Khan said he would hold those accountable who had \u201cmistreated\u201d PTI leader and ex-interior minister Azam Swati.
\nThe PTI leader was taken into custody by the FIA\u2019s Cybercrime Wing (CCW) in Islamabad on October 13 after a case was registered against him over tweets against the army chief. However, he was granted post-arrest bail almost eight days later in return for surety bonds worth Rs1 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
