ISLAMABAD: Ousted Prime Minister Imran Khan stated on Saturday that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will launch an anti-government march on Islamabad in the final week of May.
In a video message, Khan added, “We will be delivering this appeal to all Pakistanis, not only PTI supporters, since Pakistan has been insulted after the country’s most corrupt individuals were forced on us by a foreign entity.”
Khan was deposed from office on April 10 when the National Assembly voted against him on a no-confidence resolution, making him the first prime minister to be deposed this way.

Khan has frequently blamed the United States for the no-confidence vote, and he has refused to recognise newly elected Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, claiming, “There can’t be any greater disrespect to our country.” The charges have been refuted by the US government, which is led by Joe Biden.
The ex-prime minister stated in a message issued today that preparations for the long march will begin on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr and asked young people to take to the streets with PTI flags in their hands.
“You will have to convince the world that Pakistan is a living nation […] and once the preparations begin, Islamabad will be our next objective,” the PTI chairman added.
Khan stated that he believes a flood of people would descend on Islamabad and overthrow the government.
Moving on, the ex-prime minister stated that the PTI’s Core Committee has chosen to make the decision since “60 percent of the federal cabinet members are on bail.”
“The crime minister is the person who has been elected Prime Minister. In the FIA and NAB, his [family] has cases worth Rs40 billion pending “Khan stated his opinion.
The fact that such individuals are in power, according to the PTI chairman, is a “insult” to Pakistan.
