Real change can come only when the people are empowered and they are able take their own decisions rather than following dictations, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Monday.

Addressing a gathering of elders, Khan said his party was bringing such a local body system that would make the people free to make decisions, and they would have the power to elect their representatives.

Khan said a free nation made its own decision, adding that Pakistan gained freedom, but the nation had still not be freed.

The PTI chief, who was flanked by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak and other party members, said the PTI-led government in the province was introducing laws that would bring big changes in the official setup.

He said the laws would give more power to the people, adding that united and empowered people could change the fate of the country.

The PTI chief said poverty could not be eradicated unless a pro-people local body system was introduced.

“Our aim is to give the local people the authority and control over the resources,” Khan said, adding that decisions for an area should be taken by the elected leaders of the place rather than from “distant leadership in Peshawar”.

The PTI chief – who arrived in the area on Monday – was briefed about the restoration of two dysfunctional power stations.

  1. Media is playing a vital role to wake up the sleepy nation and Leader Imran Khan can do more to ask the government of today and Judicial System to do their jobs for the sake of the progress of the country. It is very important that law and order be restored and lives of the people are most important than greedy and selfishness of the cronies of the political masses
