MARDAN: Former prime minister Imran Khan has warned the unity government to give him the date for fresh elections or “the ocean of people that is coming to Islamabad will wash away everything”.
“I am giving you warning if you don’t give us election date, the ocean of people coming to Islamabad will blow you away,” he said while addressing a massive public gathering in Mardan on Friday.
Calling former prime minister Nawaz Sharif the “biggest coward he has seen in his entire life”, Imran said that he cannot make decisions of the nation by sitting in London. “Only people of this country have that right… they will decide who will lead them,” he added.
The public gathering is part of protests announced by the former ruling party as it continues to up the ante against the coalition government. Imran Khan had said he will announce the date for his long march to Islamabad anytime after May 20.
“These US slaves will never let this nation become a great nation.”
The PTI chief said he went to those who could’ve stopped the “conspiracy” from materialising but they did nothing. “I told them if this succeeds, economy will go into tailspin.” The former PM said that the rupee is now at almost Rs200 and the economic downfall can be witnessed by everyone.
PTI had announced that it will launch protest against the alleged foreign conspiracy of regime change and the ousting of former prime minister Imran Khan in a series of rallies throughout the country.
The party has so far managed to pull massive crowed in many cities throughout the country including Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar.
Imran Khan was warmly greeted by a massive crowd at the Railway Station Ground located on Mardan-Nowshera road upon his arrival earlier.
According to media reports, an 80-feet long and 30-feet wide stage was set for the central leadership of PTI. Strict security measures were also put in place for the rally.
The former prime minister on Sunday claimed that three million people — a figure almost double the population of the capital city itself — would overcome all barricades put up by the government and reach the federal capital on his call.
