Incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan has claimed that he would give the protest date “in a few days” when his supporters would take to the streets for democracy and “restoration” of democracy.

“I am ready to make any sacrifice for the ‘Haqeeqi Azadi’ of Pakistan,” he told reporters in the Adiala Jail on Monday. “Efforts will continue until the restoration of the judiciary and the release of our party workers and leaders.”

“I will personally provide the date for a march within the next few days.”

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur told the party gathering on November 9 that Khan would give a “protest call” in November (this month). “The PTI supporters will wait for Khan’s final call,” he told supporters in Swabisaid in his address to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insa supporters at the Swabi rally – ‘Awami Jirga’.

At the rally, Gandapur took oath from all supporters to act on Khan’s “decisive call” which is expected to be given in November even if takes “one’s life or resources”. He reiterated that supporters would not return home without getting Khan out of jail.

Khan claimed that the strategy was outlined during PTI’s Saturday rally in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Swabi. “This time, our supporters will not return home until their demands for the restoration of the Constitution, democracy, and an independent judiciary, as well as the release of party members, are met.”

He urged PTI officials, assembly members, local leaders, ticket holders, workers, and supporters to complete their preparations and begin mobilisation efforts on the ground.
