PTI to launch anti-govt movement from Aug 7

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf announced on Wednesday to launch anti-government movement from August 7.

Speaking to reporters in Islamabad, party chairman Imran Khan said that if the government approves their Terms of Reference (ToRs) and form inquiry committee to probe Panama Papers then they would end the campaign.

Imran Khan said his statement regarding martial law was wrongly presented.

“We have struggled for democracy for 20 years. No leader in Pakistan has put up this kind of struggle”, he added.

PTI chairman said if martial law is imposed in Pakistan, PTI would be the most affected party.

“We are struggling for real democracy in Pakistan”, Imran Khan said.

He said when army attempted a coup in Turkey, people took to the streets. But when the army had taken over in Pakistan, sweet shops had become empty.

PTI chief said Nawaz Sharif could not become a leader despite being in the position of Prime Minister three times.

“No one can become a leader without struggle and hard work”, Imran Khan said.

The PTI chairman also announced a sit-in outside the office of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) headquarters in Islamabad on July 25.

Imran Khan said that the protest against NAB was being carried out because the institution did not carry out the investigation against the government even after three months of the surfacing of the Panama Papers.

He further said strict action would be taken against those who violate the party discipline.
