Thu 09 June 2022:
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has announced that the date for the “biggest protest in Pakistan’s history” will be finalized within the next few days.
“We have to go all-in for our campaign for true freedom in the next phase. I will give a date within the next few days,” Dawn newspaper quoted Khan as saying.
Addressing the PTI’s National Council meeting in Islamabad, Imran Khan said his party is consulting with its lawyers but called on party workers to be prepared. “It will be the biggest protest in the country’s history. This is our right.”
“I have told all party organisations to be prepared. We are waiting to get the all-clear from the Supreme Court. As soon as that is done, I will give the date,” Khan said.
Following his ouster from power, Khan has been holding several rallies, reiterating the foreign conspiracy allegations and his rebuke of the “selected government” against the Shehbaz Sharif government.
During a recent rally, the beleaguered PTI chief even said Pakistan could “break up into three parts” if the establishment did not take the right decisions.
Khan wants govt to take stern stance on blasphemy
The ousted prime minister told the government that it should take a stern stance on the matter of Holy Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) blasphemy in India and should end its “friendship and business” with New Delhi.
Khan further suggested that the government should boycott Indian products.
Remarks by a spokeswoman for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), who has since been suspended, sparked the furore.
Another official, the party’s media chief for Delhi, posted a tweet last week about the Prophet that was later deleted.
Modi’s party, which has frequently been accused of acting against the country’s Muslim minority, on Sunday suspended Sharma for expressing “views contrary to the party´s position” and said it “respects all religions”.
Moreover, a day after condemning the highly derogatory remarks, Pakistan’s Foreign Office on Monday also issued a strong demarche to the Indian Charge d’ Affaires in Islamabad.
