ISLAMABAD: After Pakistan Awami Tehreek chief Dr Tahirul Qadri announced an end to his sit-in in Islamabad on Tuesday evening, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan reiterated his commitment to continue his protest till the prime minister resigns, Express News reported.
Addressing his supporters from his container in Islamabad, PTI chief said the ‘dharna’ will continue till the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
He further urged the government to accept resignations of PTI lawmakers immediately, saying he does not accept this ‘fake parliament.'
Imran asks K-P MPAs to submit asset details
Imran Khan has directed the PTI additional secretary general Saifullah Niazi to ask all PTI Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa legislators, who have failed to declare their assets, to submitted details of their assets to Election Commission of Pakistan immediately.
By not declaring their assets, these legislators are breaching the PTI principled position on declaration of assets and this would not be tolerated, said PTI chief.

@jay: Utter nonsense.
@H Chaudhry: Wait and see, you will eat your words.
Imran Khan and Tahir-ul-Qadri both are doing this for national interest. Please don't forget the sacrifices and achievements of Sir Tahir-ul-Qadri. He has also achieved his objective of Model Town. So Please don't dare comparing each other. Go with honesty. And of course we all know the leadership of Imran khan, he has never compromised and so never will.
go nawaz go
Ja Imran Ja!!!
GO NAWAZ GO, WE ARE WITH YOU Primeminister. Cry IMRAN CRY.
Man of steel, we are with you and remain with you. Go Nwaz Go.
@H Chaudhry: No moral authority? The nation is coming out in droves to these sit ins and you speak of no moral authority? How deep have you shoved your head into the sand?
@H Chaudhry: Haha! I love how I find you in every dharna related news article defending NS and his cronies. Must be a terrifying thought for you that the tsunami public dissent is slowly spreading across the nation.
ab bus bhi karo munna bhai
Ch saab, are you for real?
stealing people's mandate, Lying on the parliament floor, tear gasing and killing protesters, murdering 14 people including pregnant women,
As a Pakistani, IK has every moral ground to ask for a resignation.
Yes no short-cuts. We shud believe him cuz he is saying it from recent personal experience.
I am always baffled to see the number of comments from people for the forces of status quo.
Haven't we seen enough of Shareefs or Bhuttos or Zardaris?
Haven't we seen enough of this vicious circle of them passing the baton to each other without any improvement for the common people. No transparency, endless corruption and loads of muk-mukka. I am disappointed today!
Dharna ? There is no dharna by PTI, Only PAT was staging a dharna, PTI holds a show every night few 3,4 hours.. Burgers cant do dharna
People of pakistan should make their democracy strong otherwise army will rule over them. When people selected Nawaz for 5 yrs how come now ask him to leave immediately. Army will benefit of from this situation.
IK should follow the footsteps of his co-conspirator (TUQ) as early as possible. Now it is clear that his short cut of occupying PM house is not going to happen. Stop befooling naive & innocent people of Pakistan. IK is doing disservice to Pakistan by ruining the fragile economy of my beloved Pakistan..
Those of you who support Nawaz and Zardari, why do you support them? Have they improved the country in their decades in office?
As usual Imran has left the dharna and went back to sleep at his Bani Gala palace. Why don't he transfer whole "Dharna Concert" to his bani gala estate? Atleast he won't have to shuttle between dharna and Bani Gala every night..!
GO Nawaz GO..... GO ZARDARI GO...
NS is not resigning as they want to delay the inevitable as much as they could for two reasons: One they want to loot pakistan as much as they could through commission from privatization of national institutions, and starting ill planned mega projects at high cost, such as metro. Secondly, they are waiting to elect more senators using this fake mandate. This way in next election no matter who win election (if it was free and fair) PMLN will still control senate.
Imran keep it up, stay on container till 2018 no matter what the hard ships you have to face and make the record - after all there must be a difference between ordinary person (TUQ) and winning captan. By the way being an old retired captain you don't have anything better to do except wasting the time of youth!!!
Imran khan nation is with you. Your goal is for corruption free country is noble and majority of Pakistanis are with you. The corrupt system has to go but before that there is going to be strong struggle for which the nation should show resolve and an Iron will power.
Man of his words, Leader of Leaders. Pakistan Khan!
Khan sb please remain steadfast & Persevere For ALLAH is with who remain Steadfast
No matter what people say I will continue to stand against PML-N and PPP and other corrupt parties as I am answerable to God only.
I think we Pakistanis have completely forgotten how these political parties ruled in the past.
Go Nawaz Go
Yeah whatever! Wait for 2018 instead of a short cut to PM house. NS WILL NOT resign. you have not moral authority to demand so get going.
