As the party prepared to launch its “Haqeeqi Azadi March” from Lahore’s Liberty Chowk, its activists and sympathisers flocked there in large numbers.
By next Friday, the march, which is being held to put pressure on the government to choose a date for new elections, will arrive in Islamabad.
Imran Khan, the leader of the party, came to Liberty Chowk just before the march was about to begin in order to officially launch it.
Sheikh Rashid, a former interior minister, announced he would participate in the march today and expressed hope that “the nation will come out” and “an election date will be acquired.”
Interior minister warns of strict action
Rana Sanaullah, the federal interior minister, issued a warning earlier in the day, saying anyone who “attacks” the federal capital will face “such grave repercussions that no one will ever consider performing such an act again.”
The minister stated during a press conference in Islamabad that the government was ready to deal with anyone trying to disobey the law harshly.
Sanaullah stated that “if they [protestors] adhere to the law, we will facilitate them” before threatening “severe action” against them.
“Depending on the circumstances, we shall carry out our obligation. If they intend to march on Islamabad, they should be aware that no group will be permitted to do so “.
He advised people to consider about “a lot has been revealed concerning the case of Arshad Sharif,” the author continued. Who made the phoney threat alert, who assisted him in travelling abroad? “. He added that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would receive comprehensive information on the situation.
In response to the possibility of establishing governor raj in Punjab, the interior minister remarked that the Cabinet should decide this. But he continued, “If any such case happens, I will propose a summary.”
It should also be mentioned that the CJP stated during a hearing at the Supreme Court (SC) about the PTI’s May 25 March that the march was the party’s political strategy and that everyone had the right to protest, provided they did so peacefully and without endangering others or public property. He additionally stated that the government has the power to enforce the law.
Sanaullah acknowledged that the government will follow the SC’s directives but said that democracy would be jeopardised if “mob culture” were allowed to spread further throughout the nation.
These remarks were made by the interior minister as he was waiting outside a court in Rawalpindi. “Imran Khan claimed two days earlier that the Punjab administration had failed since these people couldn’t arrest Rana Sanaullah.”
He said that the warrant has been revoked by the anti-corruption agency today. “It was a repugnant instance of political retaliation. The Punjab government should be dismissed by Imran Khan “said he.
Sanaullah remarked in response to the news conference held by the DGs of ISPR and ISI yesterday (Thursday) that “if an institution is accused of something, it has the right to express its position with the head’s approval.”
Additionally, he stated that “DG ISI’s conference really benefited the country; a false narrative was rejected.”
The PTI could stage its long march in the federal capital’s sectors H-9 and G-9 as designated by courts, the interior minister had declared the day before, but its participants were prohibited from crossing the Red Zone, which would be guarded by Rangers and Pakistani Army forces.
