Lahore: According to former prime minister Imran Khan, the PTI is prepared to launch its Jail Bharo Tehreek (court arrest drive) today (Wednesday) from Lahore in response to the “assault” on the party’s fundamental rights and the economic “meltdown”.
The PTI leader stated in a string of tweets on Wednesday: “Today we launch our Prison Bharo campaign for Haqeeqi Azadi for two primary reasons.
“One, it is a peaceful, nonviolent protest against the assault on our fundamental rights, which are guaranteed by the Constitution.
We are dealing with fake FIRs and NAB cases, torture in detention, and assaults on journalists and social media influencers.
Second, the campaign was against the “economic meltdown brought on by cabal of crooks who have money laundered billions in looted wealth and obtained NROs for themselves while crushing the people, especially the poor and middle class, under the burden of spiralling inflation and rising unemployment,” continued Imran.
Separately, the ex-premier urged people to march to the streets for “real freedom” in a video message posted on PTI’s official Twitter account.
Really, this campaign will lead you to a Pakistan that is liberated and content.
And only until your fundamental rights are upheld by the government will this happen, he continued, noting that the Prison Bharo Tehreek “is the name of jihad.”
Imran added that Pakistan will reach “real freedom” sooner the more people took part in the drive.
