Give us an election date, says Imran during Mardan rally

Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Friday warned the coalition government to announce a date for fresh general elections or “the tsunami of people heading towards Islamabad will wash away everything”, Aaj News reported.

"I am giving you a warning that if you don't give us an election date, the tsunami of people coming to Islamabad will blow you away," Khan said while addressing a public gathering in Mardan, the latest in a series of rallies the PTI has organised.

Khan said former prime minister Nawaz Sharif cannot make decisions for the nation by sitting in London.

“Only people of this country have that right ... they will decide who will lead them,” he added.

The PTI chairman has held a series of rallies in different cities, including Karachi, Mianwali, Lahore, and Peshawar, as he mobilises his party workers and leaders against the government ahead of the Islamabad march.

Meanwhile, Khan also reiterated that his government was ousted through a US-led conspiracy, which was facilitated by the current government’s “Mir Sadiqs and Mir Jafars.”

Khan said when he came to know about the “conspiracy” then he went to the people who could have averted it.

“I told them that if this conspiracy succeeds, then our economy will falter given its current condition.”

Earlier on Friday, Khan had tweeting about the current state of the economy, and blamed the situation on the newly-elected coalition government. He said it reflects lowest confidence in the current "imported government".

In Mardan, Khan also urged the people to break the “shackles of fear” and join him in Islamabad, saying that the “slaves of US will never let this nation become a great nation”.

Taking a jibe at JUI-F Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Khan said he has snatched the ministry that would "fetch him the most money".

“I am not calling Fazlur Rehman a Maulana as I respect clerics a lot ... I am only calling him diesel now,” he added.
