Regarding calling off sit-in on May 25, Imran Khan said that the police brutally tortured the protesters and tear gas them, adding that he was afraid of clashes between police and the nationals in Islamabad and he did not want anarchy in the country.
“Toppling imported government is my only motive,” he said and added an elected government was overthrown through a US conspiracy and later the thieves were imposed top rule the country.”
“I want to show the sentiments of the nation before all national institutions. I am not here to start a war against the national institutions. I know very well that this imported government want us to stand against the institutions and the judiciary.”
