Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan warned Pakistan’s federal government of launching a civil disobedience movement if his “legitimate demands” including the release of under-trial political prisoners and a judicial probe into May 9 events and November 26 crackdown on PTI protesters are not met by Sunday. The former Pakistani Prime Minister threatened that if the demands are unmet, the civil disobedience movement, “boycott of remittances”, will be launched, Imran Khan said in a statement.
He also termed November 26 as the “darkest day” in Pakistan’s history, as several PTI workers were allegedly shot at with snipers.
“November 26th is the darkest day in Pakistan’s history. On this day, unarmed people were shot at by snipers; young people were injured and martyred, and several individuals have been missing for three weeks. It is the government’s responsibility to find the missing people. The government must answer: where are these people? Our people have made sacrifices for democracy. I direct Barrister Gohar and my parliamentary party to raise their voices in the assembly for these individuals. It is unacceptable that while blood is being shed in the country, the Parliament continues to function as usual,” he said. (ANI)
