The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) held countrywide protest against rising inflation after former PM Imran Khan’s call for peaceful demonstrations. “The current government does not care about the people or the future of the country,” Khan said during video call, adding that the situation will be out of control if the economy was destabilized.
Repeating his claim of an American conspiracy to topple his government, the PTI chairman said that “neutrals” were told about it and warned that the country will be ruined if the PTI is removed from power and the incoming government will not be able to save it.
The protests are being held at Islamabad’s F-9 Park, Karachi’s Shahrah-e-Qauideen, Lahore’s Liberty chowk, Faisalabad’s Ghanta Ghar chowk, Rawalpindi’s Commercial Market, Multan’s Sahah Abdullah chowk and Peshawar’s Hasht Nagari Gate. The demonstrations are also being held in other cities of the country.
