Former prime minister Imran Khan has urged his supporters to be ready for a march to the federal capital against the coalition government, 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Thursday.

“We are going to run the real freedom movement of Pakistan, he said while addressing a rally in Lahore’s Minar-e-Pakistan.

He added: “I am giving a call to the entire Pakistan to start preparations. Wait for my call for a march in the federal capital.

He also thanked the people of Lahore for turning out in a large number. “Today I will give you a future course of action that we will not accept slavery and this imported government.”

Imran said history will never forgive those local abettors who he said were part of the global conspiracy to topple his government. The PTI government was toppled at a time when the economy was on the right track with remittances and tax collection hitting the historic high.

He continued: “Poverty level in the country was recorded at the lowest level in the entire region despite the Covid-19 pandemic.”

“I don't want any confrontation. This is my state. I will unveil the strategy at the public gathering.

“The rulers of Pakistan are being selected by the foreign countries. The people are now aware of a selected government that is imposed by foreign forces. I will never accept this imported government, selected rulers and the gang of thieves at any cost.

“I was trying to make Pakistan’s foreign policy independent. Whatever decisions we are making in the interests of the Pakistanis but not to appease someone else. "Threats had also been given in the past and the rulers had surrendered on a telephone call.”

“I had taken up the issue of blasphemy and Islamophobia on every platform. However, they did not like my move to raise my voice on this issue.  “I have never taken dictation from anyone nor I will do this in future.”

Imran Khan said, “A foreign power questioned me to tell the reason for Russia’s visit. The gas reserves are ending in Pakistan and Russia offered oil stocks at a 30 per cent lesser price. We could have sold petrol and diesel at 30 per cent lesser price.”

“We were also eyeing 2 million tonnes of wheat stock from Russia which was also offered at a 20 per cent lesser price. I could have reduce inflation through the imports from Russia.

“India was also a close partner of the United States (US) and the neighbouring country was also purchasing oil from Russia.

“The US had also pressurised India to end ties with Russia but New Delhi rejected it by saying that it will maintain ties with Russia for its nation.”

The ex-premier said a foreign plot was prepared after Pakistan maintained friendly ties with China.

“A foreign conspiracy could never be succeeded without the help of people like Mir Sadiq and Mir Jafar.

The people like Mir Jafar and Mir Sadiq are also present in Pakistan who took part in the foreign conspiracy.”

“The three stooges got united and topple the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government which was performing well with record exports and reviving the national economy.”

Imran Khan said that $31 billion in remittances were sent by the overseas Pakistanis during our PTI tenure. “We have made a record tax collection worth Rs6,000 billion which is the highest in the history of Pakistan. The example of Pakistan is being given across the globe regarding its successful technique to cope with the crisis of the coronavirus pandemic.”

“We have fought the sugar mafia and protected the farmers of the country. Due to farmer-friendly policies, the country witnessed a record crop production during PTI tenure.”

“Pakistan was going to get rid of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and it was being recognised globally that Pakistan’s economy is put on a right path.”

Imran Khan flayed his political rivals for levelling allegations against him for illegally receiving precious gifts from Toshakhana.

Imran Khan said, “Allegations are being levelled against me that I’d taken gifts from Toshakhana. All gifts to the prime minister and ministers are sent to the Toshakhana.”

The former premier detailed that a gift could be purchased by paying 15 per cent to the Toshakhana during the previous government. The payment rate was increased to 50 per cent during PTI tenure, he added.

“I purchased gifts from Toshakhana in a legal way. I had used the Toshakhana money to repair roads instead of putting the financial burden on the national exchequer.

“I could have spent public money by establishing camp offices but I did not do anything like this. I am the only prime minister whose personal expenditures are the lowest.

Imran Khan strongly criticised Pakistan’s participation in the US-led war on terror which caused a financial loss worth over $100 billion and 80,000 lives were lost. He reiterated that he had said ‘absolutely not’ to give military bases to the US in an interview.
