ISLAMABAD:

Former prime minister Imran Khan, while addressing a prayer ceremony held on the 27th of Ramadan, called on the nation to pray for breaking the chains between them and their freedom.

The ceremony, which was held at his Bani Gala residence in Islamabad, was led by religious scholar Maulana Tariq Jameel on account of Shab-e-Qadar (Night of Power).

Prior to the ceremony, Imran had taken to Twitter to highlight how Pakistan came into existence on the 27th of Ramadan and that they were holding the prayer ceremony for the success of “haqeeqi (real) demoracy and sovereignty” of the country.

In his address, the former premier highlighted the correlation between the loss of ideology and the loss of existence for nations, and drew their attention towards the current situation of Pakistan in comparison with the public’s desire.

He said that they wanted to transform Pakistan into a welfare state on the principles of the State of Madinah, and urged the people to strive for the same.

Referring to his ouster from power, Imran once again repeated the claim of an external conspiracy, whereby there was “interference” in the country’s sovereignty as “puppets” were brought to power.

He also referred to Allama Dr Muhammad Iqbal’s dream for the country, saying that it was not meant to be a normal country, rather it was meant to become a great nation based on the principles of the State of Madinah.

He also called on the nation to pray to “break the chains” between them and their freedom.

Following the former premier’s address, Maulana Tariq Jameel addressed the people, explaining the significance of the night.
