The PTI chief, while addressing a press conference, said that during last week’s long march, the police brutally tortured his party workers and supporters despite supreme court’s orders against raising any obstacles on their way, adding that his party will raise the government’s brutal oppression on all forums and will seek legal help over the recent ban on protests by the “imported government”.
“If Shehbaz Sharif and Rana Sanaullah would have been punished for the Model Town massacre, they wouldn’t have repeated the same against PTI workers (on May 25 and 26),” said Imran Khan.
Imran Khan expressing his determination to come out against the corrupt government said that petitions will be filed in the Supreme Court on Monday to know if peaceful protest is the right of the democratic party or not.
He said that the peaceful protest is our right and they staged protest because they do not accept the imported government. He said, “We have a track record 26 years of peaceful protest and never held violent protests, adding that PTI is the only party that doesn’t have a military wing.”
The PTI chairman said that he will never accept the imported government led by the corrupt elite even if it means sacrificing his life.
