-Warns CEC against damages over void disqualification in Toshkhana Reference
-Concludes 4th day of Long March at Chan Da Qila
-Says it will take 8-9 days for marchers to reach Islamabad
KAMOKE: Former prime minister Imran Khan, while addressing the protestors at Kamoke, announced that he will be sending Rs10 billion notice to Chief Election Commissioner Sikander Sultan Raja for taking his name in the Toshkhana reference.
“Sikandar Sultan I will get the money for the damages from you,” said the PTI chief. He added that he will be filing a case against the ECP chief in court.
“I will pay the damages that I win to the [Shaukat Khanum] Hospital. Sikander Sultan, you raised a question on my integrity,” said the PTI chief.
Khan addressed his workers while stopping at Chan Da Qila and said that he would be continuing his journey towards Gujranwala today (Tuesday).
“As soon as we pass through a city, Pakistanis will see that revolution is coming in the country. The entire nation is a witness that a peaceful revolution is coming to Pakistan,” Khan said.
He told the attendees of the march that in order to ensure the supremacy of law in the country, he needed the support of the public.
“We will only get true freedom once we can have a government of people’s choice,” he said, adding that as long as “thieves” continue to be imposed on people after seeking NROs, nothing can change.
“This nation will never accept these thieves.” Khan said that once he will reach Gujranwala, he would spend an entire day with the pehalwans there.
“Freedom is not served on a plate. You have to sacrifice for that,” he said, adding that whenever the country would need a sacrifice,
he would be the first one to render it.
As the marchers moved forward, Khan once again addressed them and said that he is not a mental slave to anyone.
Speaking about how he respects Pakistani culture, Khan said that whenever he goes abroad, he makes sure to wear shalwar kameez as opposed to wearing a suit because he doesn’t want to be a slave to the West.
“I am not a mental slave to anyone. The Americans have made them [coalition government leaders] slaves so that they could not make any decisions on their own.”
He reiterated that real freedom implied freedom from external masters. The PTI chairman also said that he wants the Pakistani passport to be respected all over the world.
Holding an address in Eminabad, Imran Khan said that it will take 8 to 9 days to reach Islamabad.
Earlier, the PTI chairman had said the march will enter the federal capital on November 4. “Our convoys will leave from all over Pakistan for Islamabad. People are joining us from Sindh, Balochistan, and Gilgit-Baltistan,” Khan said.
He also took a jibe at PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and said that the “fugitive is waiting for the environment of the country to be suitable for his return.”
Addressing the party workers and supporters in Kamoke, Imran Khan once again criticised the establishment and said that they should “not side with the thieves for God’s sake”.
The PTI chairman added that those who stand with thieves will be equally responsible.
“When Musharraf removed the two families [Sharifs and Bhuttos] for corruption, the whole nation stood with the establishment. But now, you have dry-cleaned them and imposed them on us again,” he said. –Agencies
