Imran Khan announces ‘jail bharo’ movement

[terry5]

As per details, the PTI chief Imran Khan said it is better to start the ‘Jail Bharo’ movement than protest on road. They are fond of getting us jails, we will let them get their wish, he added.

Unmute
Imran Khan said after the coming 90 days whoever stays in the government, article 6 will apply on them. The nation is expecting that the judiciary will stand by the constitution.

The former prime minister Imran Khan claimed that nothing is in control of the current government. People should think about where is this country heading.

Speaking of overseas Pakistanis, the PTI chairman claimed that the 10 million Pakistanis who are living abroad are the country’s strength. He said even if two million of them invest in Pakistan they would need to ask other countries for help.

The overseas Pakistanis who came to Pakistan during PTI tenure, have been going back now.

The PTI chairman lambasted the PDM-led government, he said that the prices of petrol, electricity and gas have hiked up and it will increase more in near future.

He predicted that the PDM government is now looking for escape amid the increasing inflation.

Furthermore, the PTI chairman Imran Khan said that the ARY head of news was arrested at midnight 3 am. They break doors, enter homes and arrest people which affects the children. Whoever speaks against the regime they are abducted.

Former prime minister Imran Khan on Saturday accused the coalition government of using the recent wave of terrorism to gain “political mileage” for their benefit.

In a televised address, the PTI chairman claimed that terrorism was at its lowest-ever point during his government but resurfaced with a vengeance during the “current regime”.

“Look at the graph of terrorism and how it came down during the PTI government,” he said. “Why wasn’t there any terrorism when PTI was in the federal government?”

Imran pinned the responsibility of rising terrorism on incumbent Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as he recalled the sacrifices made by the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the war on terror.

“This is why they (KP public) came out yesterday and thronged the streets in fear that there might be another operation,” he said, adding that countless innocent lives are lost during anti-terror operations.

The PTI chief added that “lies” were spewed by PM Shehbaz in the cabinet meeting over the weekend regarding KP not utilising the terrorism funding properly.

“KP spent Rs600 billion in nine years. We made four police training schools, an elite training school in Nowshera, a special combat force to fight terrorism,” Imran said. “This is why terrorism subsided. A DNA lab was also made in 2017 at Khyber Medical College.”

Commenting on the National Finance Commission (NFC) award, the ex-PM said only two provinces, Punjab and KP, followed through on the commitment and gave money for the uplift of tribal districts.

Imran said Sindh and Balochistan did not provide any money. “We invested Rs55b for the tribal districts. The PDM government only gave Rs5b.”

‘Jail Bharo Tehreek’
Imran also announced a “Jail Bharo Tehreek” as the next step to be taken by the PTI in light of the prevailing political situation that has seen several of its top leaders and allies spend time behind bars.

Elaborating on the movement, the PTI chief said “instead of thronging the streets, getting violent and ransacking places, we will now fill the jails of the country”.

This way, he said, the federal government’s “new hobby” of putting every senior PTI leader in jail will also be fulfilled.

“Entire party and the people should prepare for the Jail Bharo Tehreek”, Imran said. “Whenever I give the signal, we all will get out and give our arrests to the authorities.”

The announcement comes after the arrests of several PTI leaders and its allies over the past few months — a sequence that began with Shehbaz Gill and has since seen Senator Azam Swati, Fawad Chaudhry, and Sheikh Rashid spend time in detention.

Imran had announced a similar movement in October in a bid to force the incumbent government to hold elections but it did not pan out as planned.

Meanwhile, PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi said, “We will fill the jails of the entire country on the call of Chairman Imran Khan”.

Sounds stupid to me.

If he's so interested in going to jail, go first.

The announcement of “Jail Bharo Tehreek” (fill the prison movement) by Imran Khan drew strong reaction from the government side on Saturday as Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb chided the PTI leadership, saying that it didn’t even have the courage to go to jail and the announcement was merely to use party workers.

The government’s spokesperson threw a gauntlet to PTI leadership to lead by example and go to jail before the party workers and supporters as she addressed a joint press conference with Minister of State for Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Faisal Karim Kundi in Islamabad.

The information minister challenged the PTI leadership to first surrender themselves before the courts and withdraw bails taken in different cases before making big announcements.
