FAISALABAD, Nov 14 (FD): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Asad Umar said on Monday that the nation was standing with former prime minister Imran Khan for its ‘real freedom’ because “important decisions are being taken in London”.
“It has been 75 years since the British left, but even today major decisions related to Pakistan were being taken in London. This is why the nation has stood with its captain for its ‘Haqeeri Azadi’,” he said.
Addressing participants at Chak Jhumra, Umar asked a charged crowd if they were ready for Islamabad. “Will you leave [for Islamabad] when [Imran] Khan gives a call for Islamabad? Are you ready?” he asked. He further jokingly asked party workers if they were “scared of [Interior Minister] Rana Sanaullah and calls from ‘unknown numbers'”.
Umar promised the crowd that until the ‘Haqeeqi Azadi’ movement is successful the “kaptaan” will not stop.
“We will not stop, we will not get scared, we will not bow down. We will keep standing until we win,” he said while addressing the crowd.
According to the party’s official twitter handle, the march was to resume from Faisalabad’s Chak Jhumra today at 9:30 pm.
“All patriotic Pakistanis are requested to join this movement for ‘Haqeeqi Azadi’,’’ the tweet stated, adding that the march will proceed towards its destination from Chak Jhumra, Jinnah Park in Faisalabad.
