Khan says ‘decisive war’ on Nov 30

*PTI chief says besides ‘Go Nawaz Go’ slogan, ‘Go Nizam Go’ will be on every lip in Nov

*Says Qadri’s objectives for holding sit-in were different from his and he’ll continue with protest at D-Chowk

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan vowed to continue his anti-government protest movement, saying ‘a sea of people’ from across the country will reach Islamabad in November after Muharram.

Addressing a mammoth gathering, which he termed the “biggest ever in the district”, Khan urged the people to join his party’s sit-in in the federal capital.

“Besides ‘Go Nawaz Go’ slogan, a new slogan ‘Go Nizam [system] Go’ would be on every lip in November,” he claimed.

Khan reiterated his stance of staying in the container even if he was the last protester left in Islamabad. “I will stay alone in the tent and won’t leave Islamabad until Nawaz Sharif resigns.”

The PTI chairman also condemned Thursday’s suicide attack on JUI-F chief Fazlur Rehman in Quetta, that killed at least three people and injured several others.

However, Khan said Fazl’s comment regarding women participants in his rally were deplorable.

“I did not like the way you talked about women who come to our sit-in,” he said. “We want our mothers and daughters to contribute in making a new Pakistan.”

He rejected Fazl’s claims of teaching his supporters western ideals, saying that they talk about Islam and Iqbal.

Commenting on the situation arising after PAT chief Dr Tahirul Qadri’s decision of ending their sit-in in Islamabad, he said that Qadri’s purpose for holding the demonstration was different from his. He, however, thanked the Canada based cleric for supporting his party’s cause for more than 60 days.

Khan ruled out the possibility of following Dr Qadri’s course and ending the PTI sit-in.

In an attempt to respond to PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari’s criticism regarding source of funding of his protest rallies and the sit-in, he said that ‘public’ has invested money for the anti-government protests.

“By successfully holding the sit-in for the last 72 days, we have proven that there was no ‘London plan’ to stage a coup in the country,” he added.

The PTI chief announced that a ‘decisive war’ would be fought against the rulers on November 30.

Speaking at the rally, Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said that Pakistan wants mutual respect and good relationship with India on equal terms.

“Listen Indians, live peacefully with us … otherwise, we know how to defend our country,” he said.

He also lashed out at Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leadership, calling PPP patron-in-chief Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari “Billo Rani”.

Mocking his Urdu accent, Rashid advised PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari to also invest some of his wealth on Bilawal in order to remove what he termed his ‘technical fault’.
