Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan has welcomed Pakistan Awami Tehreek chief Dr Tahirul Qadri’s decision to start his ‘revolution march’ on August 14.
According to Express News, Imran said his party has invited all political parties to join the Azadi march to protest against election rigging. He added that PTI supporters were going to Islamabad to rid the country of ‘monarchy’ and would return after restoring ‘real democracy’ in the country.

Not sure if Qadri or Imran would be able to do something good for people of Pakistan but one thing is sure that this Govt. will fall it self very soon and they will be sole responsible for this
@Imran Qadri
How can u expect Qadri as Pm and Imran as deputy...Imran is a much bigger leader and Qadri has joined IK not IK desperate for Qadri..Imran didn't even go for his Yom e Shouda rather sent his delegation of provincial leaders..Not even a 1 biggie of PTI was there
How come Imran Khan does not have any issue with Qadri inciting his workers to resort to violence? I trust Imran Khan when he says that he wants to keep his protest peaceful, but I detest the idea that he has no qualms about joining forces with those who have no issues with using violent measures. I also find it appalling that Imran Khan will be okay with anyone joining his rally, regardless of what their intentions are. He knows that PML-Q was responsible for much worse rigging in 2002 (read EU's report on those elections; specifically the section about pre-poll rigging) yet he is okay with the Chaudhry brothers because they are behind him at the moment (though their ideals are different than those of Imran Khan). He knows Qadri is fine with spreading chaos and anarchy yet he doesn't issue a single statement against him.
To all the people supporting these lunatics, please look at the gang together see who they all are and what their objectives are. They are no friends of Pakistan or us people, let the parliament stay it needs to stay for our betterment. Friends of musharraf stand together!!
MQM is with you Imran. Until a better offer comes.
