Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan said on Monday that never ever during 26-year history of his political struggle had he seen the nation so enthusiastic and pumped up, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Addressing PTI’s parliamentary party meeting in Islamabad, he regretted when he raised his voice over torture on party leader Shehbaz Gill, the government, rather than taking any action, booked him in a terrorism case instead.  

He said last night (Sunday) the police wanted to arrest him at 3:00 or 4:00 AM. 

Imran said that the party became more popular following its impressive win on 15, out of 20 Punjab Assembly (PA) seats, in the by-election held on July 17, 2022. “No other political party has gained so much popularity like the one PTI currently has,” he said gleefully. 

Former prime minister also eulogized party leader Murad Saeed for mobilizing a huge crowd at his Bani Gala residence at such a short notice. “There is always an element of pressure when two groups are locked in a conflict with each other,” he said, and added he was glad that the PTI’s popularity had gone further up in recent months.
