Imran Khan supporters march towards Islamabad despite police barriers and tear gas
ai generated text
Imran Khan, Pakistan's former Prime Minister, has been detained for over a year on various charges. His supporters claim that the elections in February were rigged and demand the overturning of the results. Khan remains widely popular despite his legal troubles. Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has organized a "long march" towards Islamabad, which has resulted in clashes and unrest in other parts of the country. Thousands of supporters have converged on the outskirts of Islamabad, with authorities imposing a strict security lockdown and erecting barricades on highways to block the demonstrators.
Where there are obstacles, as soon as they are removed, those caravans will again leave for Islamabad. These caravans will hit Islamabad like tsunami waves every day. This will continue until we win Khan's demands and the war for true freedom. We will not stop, we will not bend. We will persist. And will remain steadfast. Will die freed!
The convoy of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa entered the limits of Islamabad! Convoys are reaching Islamabad from all over Pakistan. We did not stop until we reached Islamabad.
We have now allowed police to take any decision according to the situation.
His release hinges on clearance from the courts. He will have to clear himself from the cases registered against him. Without this, the government cannot release him.
This is not a peaceful protest, it is extremism.
It is imperative for us to leave our homes to protest the illegal incarceration of Imran Khan.
I will stay there till my last breath, and all of you have to support me. This is not just about my husband but about the country and its leader.
My brothers, we will not end this march till Imran is not with us.
We are determined, and we will reach Islamabad, though police are using tear gas to stop our march.
We will overcome all hurdles one by one, and our supporters are removing shipping containers from roads.
My message to my team is to fight till the end, we will not back down until our demands are met.
Thanks also to Overseas Pakistanis who are not only mobilizing in Pakistan, sending funds, but also holding historic demonstrations in their respective countries. Social media warriors also continue to cover our demands worldwide and the ongoing persecution in Pakistan!!
On the instructions of Mohsin Naqvi, Rangers and police fired and shelled our workers and martyred and injured the peaceful citizens, he will have to account for it! The citizens were not only peaceful but also kept rescuing the police and rangers who were shelling and firing.
