D-Chowk rally: PTI leaders urge people to rise against ‘tyrants’

Say it is time to bring down the system that has failed to serve the masses

ISLAMABAD:


As usual, the senior leaders of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Awami Muslim League’s chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed continued their hard hitting speeches against the government and the system during the rally at D-Chowk.


Keeping up his tradition, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed called upon the people to rise and blow asunder the exploitative system and offered his services as, “suicide-politician” to raze to the ground the powerhouses that rule, but never serve the masses.

“Dismantle this system and burn the power-houses, which have so far failed to deliver and provide relief to the people of this country,” said Rashid.



“Khan sahib, give me the order, I will dismantle the system and burn it to ashes…I am a suicide-politician and go everywhere with my shroud on my shoulder,” he added.

He said the government of tyrants could only be ended by Imran Khan with the support of the masses. “This inefficient and failed government has to go,” he said. He also targeted Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief, saying Fazl has further hurt his politics by blocking roads in the K-P on Sunday in the guise of protest over the killing of JUI-F Sindh secretary general.

The PTI’s Senior Vice President Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that the time of speeches has gone and now time for decisions and actions has come. He urged the workers to be ready for the next step. He also targeted PPP co-chairperson Asif Zardari calling him a ‘madari’ or juggler of Nawaz Sahrif. He urged the people to support Imran Khan as long as the new Pakistan is built.

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak targeted JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman for blocking roads in K-P at the behest of Nawaz Sharif to stop PTI workers from participating in the rally.

He questioned the justification to block roads in K-P in protests over the assassination of JUI-F leader in Sindh. “Why not (road-blocks) in Balochistan, Punjab and Sindh,” he added. “We have shown restraint today…we dare you to try to block the roads tomorrow and we will pay you in the same coins,” Khattak challenged Fazl. He said that PTI has already defeated JUI-F in elections.

He urged the people of Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan to support Imran Khan for brining change in the country. Describing the PTI’s change, Khattak said that it means giving justice and rights to poor and to hang the corrupt elements. “In the new Pakistan, entire looted wealth of the nation would be recovered from the plunderers,” he noted.

Lord Nazir Ahmed, member of British Parliament, said that all eyes are now on the PTI movement in Islamabad. He said that if any person does not pay taxes in UK, his property is confiscated and PTI will introduce the same system in Pakistan.

An elected PM is a tyrant? The party is doing what ever they want for the last 100 hundred days in the heart of the capital and have put the country on stop with excessive tolerance form the government is calling a elected PM a tyrant. PTI is a state of mind. To be honest you have to call others corrupt. To be democrat you have to call others tyrant. To be PM you have to call the elections as rigged. Come on PTI, be a sport, do you think people are buying your lunatic theories?
