Imran Khan calls for protest in Islamabad on November 24

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has given a final call for protest in Islamabad on November 24, 2024.

After meeting Imran Khan in Adiala Jail, his sister, Aleema Khan, while speaking to the media outside the jail, said that the PTI founder stated: “On February 8, you brought a revolution. You came out on February 8 and exercised your constitutional right; you snatched power from the elite and became powerful. But on February 9, the entire mandate was stolen.”

According to Aleema Khan, the PTI founder said, “Your stolen vote was given to a select few, and the independence of the Supreme Court was taken away.”

Aleema Khan added that the PTI founder urged his supporters, including farmers, lawyers, and the public, to “come out because of the situation in Pakistan. It is the responsibility of lawyers to stand up for the protection of the Supreme Court.

Civil society must come forward; this is your future. You have to come out for the rule of law, judiciary, democracy, and the mandate that was taken from you.”

She further stated that the PTI founder has issued the final call and has set the date to march to Islamabad on November 24. He has urged voters, MNAs, every worker, and the leadership to see this as an opportunity to decide whether to remain under martial law or to be free.

It is worth noting that Imran Khan is currently in Adiala Jail, and his sister, Aleema Khan, was among those who met him on Wednesday.

When Imran Khan was arrested last year, on May 9, his party supporters and angry protesters targeted military installations in different parts of the country.

However, on May 11, the Supreme Court ordered his release. After this, Imran Khan was arrested again on August 5, 2023, and since then, no direct statement has come to light, although lawyers and those who have met him have shared statements attributed to Imran Khan with the media.

The PTI, led by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, also marched towards Islamabad on October 5, during which clashes occurred between the police and PTI workers, resulting in the death of an Islamabad police officer.

There was no immediate response from the government to this new call for protests by the PTI, although in the past, the government has stated that the PTI only seeks to spread chaos through such protests.
