ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has announced to hold anti-government across Pakistan against a recent increase in electricity tariff, Express News reported.
He was addressing the 'Azadi' March in the federal capital on Monday.
Imran said the PTI will protest in all districts headquarters on Wednesday.
The PTI chief said the country was being ruled by just 400 families, and that he will expose all those who had looted the country.
Imran further demanded that the prime minister and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar reduce petroleum prices by at least Rs15 to reflect the fall in international prices of petroleum.
Urging both PM Nawaz Sharif and former president Asif Zardari to declare their wealth, he said the sit-in could end the day that happens.
"I will end the sit-in the day both of them declare their actual assets."
Imran also addressed Pakistan Peoples Party chairman, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
“Bilawal, I will accept you as a leader when you ask your father Asif Zardari and your ‘uncle’ Nawaz Sharif to declare their assets,” he said. “Speeches don’t make you a leader.”
About the party's rally in Gujrat on Friday, Imran said, "Our Friday’s rally will be the biggest in the history of Gujrat."
Ban on Mubashir Luqman, private TV channel
Imran condemned the 15-day ban imposed on anchor Mubasher Luqman and a private television channel by PEMRA on Monday, and invited the show host to conduct his programme from atop his container.

Imran Khan is honest, possess the highest financial integrity, & a widest consensus exists on this. The only way to rid Pakistan of Pakistan Stealers is Imran Khan, rhymes with Pittsburgh Steelers (Steel Industry). Pakistan steelers include those at the top level in PML Noon & PPP. And, the practice of stealing has trickled downward, recursively. The solution is to chop the rotted fish at the top first to save the fish, put an end to the top downward recursive practice of stealing in Pakistan.
@Awais Khan: NS kay 5000 tax wali baat safaid jhoot (blatant lie) hay. Go to FBR's web site or ECP web site and check how many tax has Nawaz Sharif paid. Please wake up. Don't be so fool to beleive anything that IK says
Go Nawaz Go.
Only one slogan of the Nation.
Go Nawaz Go.
@Zain: I read those assets. NS lives in his mothers house and last year paid Rs.5000 Tax. I usually pay more tax than NS. and NS is surviving on income of his sons. Hahaha....give me a break. I want to know his real assets.
@ Real Truth Firstly, change ur name, does not really reflect the truth :) U really think NS assets are so little that he pay Rs 5,000 tax. Poor NS, we should all pay him some charity. IK sb, keep it up and God bless u
Imran Khan, you are wasting your time and this nations time...please go back to KPK and deliver something. We don't care about your sit-ins and protests anymore.
So Imran accepts there is forced conversion of minorities in pakistan
Yup, IK Sb, what else is NEW??? Had you and your brother NOT come to Islamabad to get NS's resignation; now, you are say you will be content with NS just declaring his assets, and end your Dharna? Are you really serious? What happened to the original demand of NS' resignation???
Imran Khan and PTI are like Ch. Nisar. Always whine, always make noise, but never deliver. KPK is currently being buried under the inadequacies of PTI, and the lousy khan is busy wasting the time of Pakistanis with this loaded crap.
Keep it up - i mean keep standing on container till 2018... and then see what the nation decides - by that time people will be in a better position to compare what pmln has done and what's your pti has done in KPK during five years, don't hurry just wait till 2018 - this would be a great service to nation.
Why Imran? You dont even pay your bills and neither do your supporters. Why would you care? Unless of course your supporters dont listen to you?
30 paisa per unit Equalizing Surcharge to be paid by consumer for the inability of govermnent and its departments to settle their outstanding dues, Jamhooriat khapey (Sindhi), Awaam khappey (Punjabi).
Stop the gimmicks(like urging everyone not to pay their bills and sending remittances through illegal channels(hundi) ,your gimmicks are causing dent to economy,
Indeed benefit of petroleum price reduction internationally would have been passed down to end consumers but no thanks to YOU(PTI & Imran Khan) that dollar have appreciated against Pakistani rupee so end consumer gets less benefit compared to what they would have gotten had your stupid dharnas not have caused dent to economy.
@Zain,
The courts that could not punish a Patwari in 6 decades on corruption?
NS transfered his wealth to his relatives. He's not a fool IK.
Good work. I hope you get the desired result, for the intention is good.
Complying with the law, Nawaz Sharif's assets were declared at the time of filing nomination papers for GE 2013, last year in September and last month for the 2nd parliamentary year too. If you believe his stated assets (includes wife) are not true, point out irregularities and challenge them in court. Don't make hollow statements.
