Imran Khan calls to fight for Haqeeqi Azadi 

Imran gave a video message through his Twitter account and asked his supporters to fight for Haqeeqi Azadi and stand for law.

The PTI chairperson conveyed the message that if something happened to him and he was killed, then the nation would not accept the slavery of thieves. 

Similarly, PTI leaders called on the nation to stand up for Imran. Chaudhry Fawad Hussain directed the people to stand up for the PTI leader. He added that PTI organisations should make sure that protests remain peaceful. PTI called the government’s attempt to arrest Imran a fascist move. Farrukh Habib stated that it was a deliberate attempt to compromise Khan’s security.

Government not backing down

The federal government did not show any intention to back off and want to arrest Imran Khan at all costs. Interior Minister Ranasanullah said that they are attempting to arrest a person who ran away from the court.

PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz said that if any police officer got injured or hurt in the protest then PTI and Imran Khan will be responsible for it.

Note that Yesterday, Monday, March 13, a non-bailable arrest warrant was issued for Imran Khan in the case of threatening the female judge. In the Tosha Khana case, Imran Khan’s requests for immunity from attendance were rejected. The court ordered to arrest of Imran and present him to the court.
