The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced that it will hold a “historic” rally in Lahore on Wednesday, which will be attended by party chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan.
The announcement comes as Imran Khan has been evading arrest attempts by law enforcing agencies and is facing charges of money laundering and illegally selling gifts received during his tenure as prime minister. Despite the ongoing legal issues, the PTI leadership remains undeterred and is keen to showcase its strength in Lahore. Speaking at a press conference, party leader Hammad Azhar said, “When that lion (Imran Khan) will leave Zaman Park on Wednesday, there will be historic scenes in Lahore. Future generations would read and see the pictures and videos of [this event]. They will understand this is how a nation becomes alive.” Hammad went on to say that no one can stop Imran Khan’s voice as his voice is Pakistan’s voice right now.
