Breaking Aljazeera News: Opposition Parties rally in Lahore to Demand PM Imran Khan quit| Targets Army Establishment decisions for worse Pakistan Economic current Conditions

Opposition supporters rally to demand Pakistan PM Imran Khan quit

Alliance of 11 opposition parties defies coronavirus curbs to hold a rally in the central historic city of Lahore, Minar-e-Pakistan. Lahore played crucial role 80 years ago to gain separation from British India.

Opposition protests have gathered momentum in Pakistan as tens of thousands of people defied coronavirus restrictions to demand Prime Minister Imran Khan step down and renew criticism over the military’s role in politics.

An alliance of 11 opposition parties, known as the Pakistan Democratic Movement, demonstrated in the central city of Lahore on Sunday, in the culmination of the first phase of protests before a planned march on the capital of Islamabad in January to pile pressure on Khan’s government.

The parties of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and slain former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto are part of the movement.

Double-digit inflation, a poor economy, curbs on civil liberties, Army interference and media censorship are cited by the opposition as the reason for the PDM protests.

Al Jazeera’s Kamal Hyder, reporting from Islamabad, said the opposition was keen to portray Sunday’s rally as a “referendum” but the government was “determined to stay in power” and not “buckle under pressure”.

“There are signs, according to some analysts, that the economy is recovering,” Hyder said, adding that the protests were described by the government as “more [of] a ploy” to distract from the corruption charges against Sharif.

The three-time prime minister was forced by the Supreme Court to step down over corruption allegations in 2017 and was convicted and sentenced to a prison term a year later, just days ahead of the general election won by Khan.

He has been living in the United Kingdom since November 2019, when he left Pakistan on medical bail to receive treatment for a blood platelet issue that doctors said threatened his life.


Sharif, who blames generals and judges for what he says were trumped up charges, was expected to address the Lahore rally through video-link from London.

At previous rallies, he has accused the army and intelligence chiefs of rigging the 2018 national elections to block his party from seeking a new term.

For his part, Khan has accused Sharif of “playing” regional foe “India’s game” by criticising Pakistan’s powerful military.

curbs on civil liberties, Army interference and media censorship
If there are curbs on liberties, how come PDM is allowed to spread their venomous propaganda again and again?
Sharif, who blames generals and judges for what he says were trumped up charges
Why doesn't he blame those doctors who manufactured his fake platelets reports so he could get emergency bail on health grounds?

PMLN say that PTI Dr Fehmida Mirza herself saw the reports and cited grave medical situation of Nawaz Shariff, the criminal convict.
Where is the evidence of these claims?

Zero evidence yet brought to Public notice by PDM about election rigging by Army and ISI.

PDM made shit up without evidence if they had evidence they would've approached ECO and courts first
 
Update to breaking news: Patwaris placed on WWF endangered species list following lower than expected turnout at Lahore Jalsa. Biologists seek urgent explanations for sudden decline in numbers; further recommend captive breeding programme to urgently replenish endangered population.

Don't worry we can import more of their kind from London or Delhi.

i am doc myself and i will tell you the same..nawaz sharif may drop dead anytime from heart attack simply because he is 70 years old, diabetic, non complaint patient with history of triple vessel disease..

you will not find a single doctor that will give what the supreme court asked for "grantee of his life"

however, if the question was , does he need surgery or does he need any more procedures, the answer would have been no
