Islamabad Tsunami March on 14 August if demands not fulfilled: Imran Khan
"I will hang the police officer who will carry violence against PTI workers," he warned.
BAHAWALPUR (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan announced while addressing Bahawalpur rally on Friday that he will lead ‘Islamabad Tsunami March’ comprising over 10 lakh participants on August 14 if PTI’s demands not fulfilled.
“PMLN you have one month to get us the answers,” he said. “I want to say this in front of all Pakistanis, we’ll do Islamabad Tsunami March on 14 August if demands not fulfilled.”
First demand: He urged the government to tell who was behind Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s victory speech at 11:20pm on May 11, 2013 election night.
His second demand was for the government to answer why was former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry rewarded?
“Tell us why Returning Officers weren’t working under election commission? What was the role of ex Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry? I ask you CJ Iftikhar, people sacrificed a lot for you, people went to jail for independent judiciary, but CJ you sold yourself so cheap,” he said. “The price of your conscience was to get your son elected as Balochistan Board of revenue. Tell us why was CJ rewarded?”
As third demand, he asked the government to answer what was the role of caretaker government?
Fourth demand: Answer who changed results after getting votes rejected in 35 polling stations.
Fifth demand: Election commission must resign
Addressing police officers, he warned police and administration not to harm civilians and PTI workers.
“I will hang the police officer who will carry violence against PTI workers,” he said.
Talking about Zarb-e-Azb operation, he said God has put the responsibility on all of us to facilitate the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) of North Waziristan. He urged Nawaz Sharif not to politick over IDPs, Dunya News reported.
“I urge Nawaz Sharif not to politick over IDPs, there’s no use of taking a photo with me. You’re wasting billions on ads. If you want to support them, give them money, give them at least 6 billion rupees that you wasted on ads. I will invite you to Bannu whenever I get chance, then you can take photo with me” he said.
Khan thanked and praised the participants of the Jalsa.
“I played cricket in scorching heat for 21 years but I am feeling the heat today, I congratulate you all, this many people cannot gather for any other party in this heat,” he said.
“This is passion that will give birth to a new Pakistan.”
He announced that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government, his foundation and volunteers will provide aid to the IDPs.
Lamenting the Punjab police, he alleged Punjab police act as militant wing of PMLN.
“Police themselves break the law. Police will be corrupt when they will have political patronage,” he said.
“Go to KP province and point out one person in the police who has political patronage. The police there are not political. Until we have depoliticized police, incidents like Model Town tragedy will keep taking place. If I come in government in Punjab, I’ll show you how to correct the police.”
He also criticized Nawaz Sharif for telling Khan not to derail the democracy.
“Is this democracy where your own family members hold the key government posts?” he asked.
“You say development is happening; no one sees development…maybe the development took place in your pockets.”
He asked if will strengthening electoral system derail the democracy or strengthen it. “Democracy will strengthen and mafia will derail,” he said.
“Huge election frauds have been found in the constituencies that have been probed until now. Is this your democracy where 80 to 90 thousand votes don’t even exist?”
