Imran Khan, founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has announced a nationwide protest campaign against the current government, according to the report, citing PTI Senator Ali Zafar.
Senator Zafar explained that the protests won’t be limited to Islamabad but will take place across the country.
He shared that Khan, feeling “pushed against the wall,” has no choice left but to turn to public demonstrations and will lead the movement from jail by issuing instructions.
Zafar added that he has been assigned the task of creating a comprehensive protest plan, which he will present in their next meeting.
He called the upcoming movement “unprecedented” and said that while challenges are expected, PTI is prepared to deal with them. The strategy is expected to be finalized in the coming days.
He also mentioned the party’s hopes for a favorable court outcome on June 5, though he admitted that the decision remains uncertain.
In a separate development, PTI has resolved internal tensions, particularly between Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur..
A recent leadership meeting in Islamabad, attended by Khan’s three sisters, Gandapur, and party legal representatives, focused on party unity and reinforcing the push for Khan’s release from Adiala Jail.
Aleema clarified during the meeting that while she and her sisters are not politically involved, they are committed to advocating for their brother’s freedom.
PTI leaders agreed to put aside differences and accelerate the campaign for Khan’s release. Parliamentarians have been instructed to attend court hearings related to their cases.
Meanwhile, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan expressed cautious optimism that Imran Khan could be released ahead of Eidul Adha. “We are trying our best and are hopeful that Allah will open a way,” he told reporters in Islamabad.
He emphasized that PTI supporters have genuine concerns about the prolonged detention of their leader, stating, “No one can comprehend why PTI founder Imran Khan has spent two years behind bars.”
