Lahore: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan has said that the establishment has decided not to allow Imran Khan to come, therefore obstacles are being created in the conduct of elections.
At the beginning of his address in the meeting held at Minar Pakistan, he paid tribute to the people and workers on reaching the meeting place and said that to stop the meeting, 2 thousand of our workers were arrested and containers were placed on the roads, but the frenzy of the people. Defeated everything.
Imran Khan said that if the nation decides then no force can stop it, I salute the people on reaching Minar Pakistan after great obstacles, our government was overthrown by conspiracy and criminals were imposed on the country The country has been trapped in a quagmire under the conspiracy.
He said that the message should be sent today that people’s madness cannot be stopped by force, if Allah puts thoughts in their hearts, then no force can stop them. Having spent time in many countries, I saw that people stand up against injustice. He saw the nation endure every oppression, the nation that does not stand against oppression becomes a slave and slaves are only good slaves and their lives are humiliating.
Chairman PTI said that ‘when the idol of fear is broken, real freedom will be found and those nations will be freed in the societies in which the rule of law is ruled, justice means having the same law for the rich and the poor. A society that gives justice to the weak against the strong is progressive.
He said that there is no rule of law in Pakistan, therefore there is a law of the jungle, whatever the powerful want to do, the law is powerless before it. In a country where only rich people get justice compared to the poor, it is a republic to make it. They say, “Unfortunately here, the poor man stumbles into the police station, while in Europe there is no concept of a police station.”
‘143 cases have been registered against me’
He said that despite being on bail, my house was attacked by the police and rangers from three sides. You know, they have registered around 143 cases against me, 40 of which are terrorism cases.
‘When he agreed to arrest, the workers were lying down’
Imran Khan said that they came to my Zaman Park with armor. And said that they will kill you during detention.
My heart wants to arrange those who killed Zal Shah, Imran Khan
Chairman PTI has said that I pray to Allah to give me life, my heart wants to arrange those who killed Zul Shah, but God willing, I will punish them according to the law.
They looted from Zaman Park and took the employees away.
Imran Khan said that ‘I was going to Islamabad for an appearance, when I got information at the toll plaza that fifty officials had entered the house, while my pious wife Bushra Bibi was alone there, the officials ransacked the house and five employees were killed. They subjected them to the worst torture and took them with them.
“I ask military officers, judges and police officers that if what happened in Zaman Park happened in your house, what would be the situation?” Whereas this does not happen anywhere in the world because there is no forest law in any country’.
‘Establishment has decided not to let Imran Khan come’
Chairman PTI said that the establishment has decided not to allow Imran Khan to come, that’s why pretexts are being used to hold the election. Or is there any other program to raise the country, you tell me what is the program for the development of the country, then I will be silent.
Chairman PTI said that at this time the nation has hope from the judiciary and the Supreme Court, the entire nation stands by the Supreme Court and will defend the judiciary.
Imran Khan’s Future Plan
Imran Khan, while giving the program for the future, said, “First of all, we have to eliminate the current account deficit and this will happen only with the arrival of dollars. For this, we only have to establish the rule of law. There are 17 thousand Pakistani doctors in America who The income is 18 billion dollars, Pakistanis have also bought properties worth billions of dollars in the UAE.
He said that once we restore the confidence of overseas Pakistanis, then investment will start in the country, then we will not have to kneel before the IMF for a small loan, the same happened in China and then Today, China has emerged as a major economic power, if overseas Pakistanis buy plots here, they are occupied, then why will they invest here?
Chairman PTI said that ‘after the coming of the government, we did not understand things for three and a half years. The income of these two sectors had increased a lot, then we also have to promote tourism and we have to focus on minerals too.
He said that when we come to power, along with all these things, we will also focus on industries, especially small industries, and only increase production in the agriculture sector, for which we had also discussed with China. Imran Khan said that we have to privatize loss-making institutions while also increasing tax collection.
He said that only two million citizens pay tax in Pakistan while there were crores of people who were paying tax in NADRA records. Imran Khan said that apart from this, we will come to power and do special work to prevent money laundering because the elite class steals money and sends it out, we will tighten the circle against such people by strengthening the law.
Chairman PTI said that for the social security of the nation we will also issue health cards while in future we will also give money for ration to people under targeted subsidy, Sania Nishtar has completed the work on this. When we come to power, we will give interest-free loans to the youth, while we will restart our scheme to provide housing to the salaried class.
Imran Khan criticized the recent interview of former Army Chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa and said that the reason for his removal was that ‘Imran Khan had become dangerous, how dangerous is the situation today? Will you answer?’
