He further claimed that the people of KP and the wider public are eager for Imran Khan\u2019s release and true freedom, and that the current rulers are increasingly fearful of this popular movement.<br \/>\nDr. Saif reaffirmed PTI\u2019s commitment to continuing its protests, despite the government\u2019s attempts to stifle the
