Imran Khan, Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, has urged his supporters to prepare for his upcoming call for “peaceful protests” aimed at achieving “true independence” in the country.
In a video message released on Tuesday, the former prime minister expressed deep concern over what he called the widespread human rights violations taking place across Pakistan. He denounced the gross violation of fundamental rights, with peaceful protesters, including women and children, being allegedly subjected to torture. Khan further highlighted the destruction of ordinary citizens’ homes, which was being widely publicised through electronic and social media channels to spread fear among the masses. Drawing an analogy to the founder of the Mongol Empire, Genghis Khan. , the PTI chief pointed out that whenever he conquered a city, he would inflict significant casualties while sparing a few individuals to relay the message of his ruthlessness, leading others to surrender without resistance. Khan argued that a similar strategy was being employed in Pakistan today.
