  • Imran Khan censures govt for arresting PTI leaders.
LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan Saturday asked his workers and supporters to prepare for "Jail Bharo" movement across the country.

Khan’s comments come in the wake of sedition cases filed against his party's Senior Vice-President Fawad Chaudhry and former member of National Assembly Shandana Gulzar, while Senator Azam Swati and Shahbaz Gill were booked earlier for speaking against the military.

During his televised address, the deposed prime minister said his party could have opted for a nationwide strike, but will choose to fill the prisons instead in light of the fears that the country's economy might deteriorate further.

“We have two options: Considering what they have been doing, we could have gone for a wheel-jam strike and demonstrations — which is also a way and a democratic one."

"But since the state of the economy is so bad, it’ll worsen. Therefore, I ask all my workers, the Pakistani nation and everyone to prepare for the Jail Bharo movement,” Khan said.

The former premier, while addressing the youth and nation, added that his party won’t stay quiet on the violence being inflicted on his party’s members. “Instead of causing destruction, we would now prepare Jail Bharo movement.”

“It was their plan to weaken Tehreek-e-Insaf by frightening and threatening,” the PTI chief said.

Khan claimed his party never committed such atrocities in its tenure as the Pakistan Democratic Movement-led government in the centre has.

“Fawad Chaudhry was picked up from home at 3am. What did Shandana Gulzar do that made her a terrorist? As the court gives bail to Sheikh Rashid, more cases are being filed against him,” the PTI chairman said, insisting on how action has been taken against every person who called out the regime change.

The former prime minister said human rights violations have continued since the "imported government" arrived.

“No example can be found for the way Shehbaz Gill was tortured. The effects of the torture on him are still there,” Khan said.

Speaking about the attempted assassination attack on himself, the PTI chairman said he couldn’t get the FIR of his choice registered despite being a former prime minister. However, he said, 60 FIRs were filed against him.

Slamming the PDM government for not being able to control the skyrocketing dollar rates, Khan said: “When the no-confidence motion came to the assembly on the basis of a conspiracy, the dollar was for Rs178. The dollar [rates] increased by Rs50 within a week.”
 
JAIL BHARO MOVEMENT ISN’T FOR THOSE CRYING AFTER DAYS OF ARREST: MARRIYUM

Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb has criticised former premier and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan over ‘Jail bharo’ movement, saying that those who cry within two days cannot fill jails, ARY News reported on Saturday.


Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the information minister challenged him to become the first to voluntarily surrender before police, saying that the party’s leadership surrenders first to kick off ‘jail bharo’ movement.

Marriyum Aurangzeb said that those who shed tears after facing imprisonment for just two days, could never make jail bharo movement a success. “The PTI chief has made party workers a shield for his politics”, she said.

She gave a breakdown that several Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders had spent behind bars without seeking a compensation from the then PTI government. “Nawaz Sharif had spent 374 days in jail, Shehbaz Sharif 340 days, Hamza Shehbaz 627 days, and Maryam Nawaz 157 days, without seeking a compensation,” she added.

The minister further said that PML-N leadership has presented its record of past four years and now Imran Khan will have to answer for the deteriorating economy, security situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and taking the country back to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

She claimed that Imran Khan surrendered the country’s economy to International Monetary Fund (IMF), pointing out that the former premier put all opposition and journalists behind the bars.

She said KP got Rs471 billion but questioned about the capacity building of the provincial police to deal with the terrorism. “They did nothing to protect the KP police, Rangers, people of province and Pakistan army personnel in the province,” she added.

Earlier in the day, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan announced the ‘Jail Bharo’ movement in the wake of arrests of several party leaders.

Imran Khan said after the coming 90 days whoever stays in the government, article 6 will apply on them. The nation is expecting that the judiciary will stand by the constitution.

The former prime minister claimed that nothing is in control of the current government. People should think about where is this country heading.

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Atta ullah Tarar said on Saturday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan was probably misguided over the interpretation of “Jail Bharo Movement”.

Mr Khan had, earlier, announced the movement saying members of the PTI and its supporters were being targeted in revenge activities. "We are not afraid of arrests," he added.

Taking to Twitter, Mr Tarar wrote, “These movements underscore revocation of bails granted in all cases, whether ongoing or postponed. “Does Mr Khan wish the bails granted to him in cases of foreign funding, cipher, and toshakhana revoked”, he asked.
 
This movement is extremely dangerous. Neither the governments are sincere in their prosecutions nor the judicial system capable of handling such mass criminal proceedings. Provocation of the youth to register criminal records on behalf of a cricketer is unfortunate.
 
This is a new low for this guy, I wonder when and if he will be the first one to give himself up to the authorities to fill atleast one jail cell.
