Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has asked the people to join the party rallies to express solidarity with the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP), reported the 24NewsHD TV channel. 

Addressing the PTI workers and supporters through a video link, he urged the public to take to the streets in solidarity with the Chief Justice, adding that it was a decisive time for everyone to stand by the Supreme Court. Imran Khan said that he himself will lead the rally in Lahore.

PTI chairman Imran Khan already announced holding rallies in four major cities of the country including Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Peshawar on May 6 (Saturday). 

The former prime minister alleged that the regime change decision was made behind closed doors in which a person declared him ‘dangerous’ and ordered to bring Shehbaz Sharif and Ishaq Dar to the government. 

PTI Chairman Imran Khan alleged that the incumbent government is a ‘gift of Qamar Javed Bajwa’.  He said that he had made maximum efforts to hold elections. “Constitution also orders to hold elections in 90 days after the dissolution of the assembly,” he said adding that the 15 judges of the Supreme Court (SC) had also given their opinion to hold polls in 90 days but the caretaker government is unwilling to hold polls.  

Mr. Khan continued to lash out at political opponents and accused the incumbent government of resorting to unconstitutional tactics. He further said, “These people used to taunt me by asking to dissolve the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies for the sake of elections.”

Khan alleged that the supporters of Maulana Fazlur Rehman have been handed over the caretaker set up in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), whereas, pro-Shehbaz Sharif people are present in Punjab’s caretaker government. “They have planned to be in the government till October and they will not hold polls.”

Imran Khan said that they sought orders from the Supreme Court (SC) for timely polls in Punjab. “This Supreme Court had once rejected PTI’s plea for holding polls. “I have never complained about facing difficulties when the courts were opened late at night.”

 “After the SC ruling, PTI commenced electioneering but the rulers started torturing us. During talks, the government suggested holding polls after the budget. I am continuously telling everyone that they are going to waste time as their intentions are bad.”

He reiterated that elections are the only solution to pull the country out of the crisis.

He vowed to fight with PDM till the last ball. “The government has no plan in a bid to take the country's economy in the right direction.”

"Our fundamental rights have been violated. We will sacrifice everything for the sake of the country. We are not going to run away from the country. We have been fighting the mafia. Excuses are being made under the umbrella of agreement with the (IMF)," Mr Khan maintained.
