Addressing his supporters at PTI's D-Chowk sit-in on Thursday, Imran once again censured the government for torture over what he claims were peaceful protesters. Police had resorted to heavy shelling of tear-gas and some rubber bullets as protesters marched towards the PM house from the D-Chowk on August 31.
Referring to a PIMS report, the PTI chief said, “Today I have learnt that when government opened fire on August 31, 24 seriously injured protesters were picked up by police and till date no one knows about their whereabouts.”
“We have filed a case against Prime Minister Nawaz Shairf and Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and we would ask them about those 24 people,” he added. Imran referred to protest demonstrations in the west and claimed that no one dares to think of firing at peaceful protesters.
Talking about Wednesday's incident in Lahore where a student was killed by a guard of Abdul Qadir Gilani, Imran said the student was a martyr.
Lamenting VIP culture prevalent in the country, the PTI chief said Tahir Malik was shot just because he tried to pass the motorcade of not a sitting, but a former prime minister’s son. Addressing his supporters, Imran said that “you have a chance to change and end this culture.”
Will defeat Nawaz-Zardari team
Claiming that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and former President Asif Ali Zardari had teamed up to safeguard their owin interests and hide their corruption, Imran warned them that their time was up.
“This is not democracy but rule of land mafia. I will file cases against them, expose their alliance and hold them accountable,” said Imran.
Commenting on Zardari’s remarks about him, the PTI chief said “I am very happy what Zardari said. My party members may have become perturbed if Zardari had uttered good words about me.”
Talking about the Multan incident where PML-N workers greeted him with “Go Imran Go” chants, the PTI chief said that “Today I am confident that Nawaz Sharif is afraid of me.”
This is nothing but fear they are displaying by chanting the slogans despite the fact that I am not the Prime Minister, the PTI chief teased. “Where should I go?” Imran asked jokingly.
Multan rally
About PTI’s rally in Multan on Friday, Imran said that the nation had awoken and their rally in Multan would be historic and break all past records. “I do not need any signal as people of Pakistan are with me and they are ready for change,” he added.
“I am hopeful because of you and no one can defeat us,” Khan said while referring to his experience as cricketer. Whether it is cricket or any other field ‘you do not win but the other loses because of his mistakes and the champion exploits those’, he added.

@Iqbal Hadi Zaidi: Still waiting for your reply Mr. Pasha's man? If you know what I mean?
@Iqbal Hadi Zaidi: you know how many policemen were injured and eventually died due to the attack of Pti and Pat supporters? Those policemen are innocent humans working on orders of the government. What about the people injured at Ptv offices? What about the people of geo beaten up? As long as they are pti supporters they are humans but others are not? Who are you? I want to expose you and your agenda driven comments.
Have we snatched the right to burial also in my beloved Pakistan? Time and again it is reported that people go missing and then none knows whether they are alive or dead which is very much shocking. The least courtesy demands that the person be buried so that his or her relatives can go the grave and offer fateha etc which is not possible if the fate of the person is unknown. PML (N) government must have the courage to tell the nation where are these seriously injured people who were picked up from PIMS? Iqbal Hadi Zaidi
Zahid: What kind of proofs do u want. Don't u follow news. Rigging has been proved at every polling station where votes are verified. Fake votes and garbage is filled in the bags. What proof do u want.
Imran is the best opposition leader of Pakistan's entire history. As he cannot do anything else, therefore Nation will keep on giving him this job after every election.
Khan Sb, its time you give solid proofs of rigging other then mere stories endorsed by ex govt employees who themselves are tainted. The western democracies you are so fond also act on proofs not lies told by anyone person. Go Imran go home and let PMLn govt work, since they are the only one's doing anything positive. Your party PTI has miserably gailed in KPK to allievate poverty and numerous ills that require immediate attention. Do you know that international flight from Peshawar after sunset have been discontinued. This will impact the thousands of pathans who frequently travel to middle east to work. Shame on PTI.
Just like the mythical hundreds of 'innocent girls' killed in Lal Masjid, these 30 killed and 200 missing will never be produced.
One man who can change our country after quaid azam jaye ik.
I have heard this speech before. No facts, proofs, just uncorroborated lies.
In a system where the law enforcement agencies and the judiciary are a beholden to the party in power........expecting justice of any sort is futile. But I agree that it is necessary to scram ' foul ' when an atrocity is committed.
There can be two benificieries of organised rigging, One who is in power N other who want to depose. If Imran khan had introduced electoral reform first in National assembly N then demanding relection, it could be a right step. But relection without reforms,, Seems London Plan.. Political instability,, Negative progess in country..!! Plz forgood sake leave our country on his own fate...!!
