Will confront head on if Faisalabad episode repeated in Lahore: Imran

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief, Imran Khan Monday warned that in case what happened in Faisalabad was repeated in Lahore, his party activists would confront it head on.

“Those who see PTI crowd as a ‘burger crowd’ brace themselves,” Imran Khan cautioned while interacting with media representatives here.

He said the ‘Gullu Butts’ of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) prepared well in advance to subject PTI workers to torture. “An armed man resorted to firing while the police just looked on,” he said, adding he would himself go and get an FIR lodged.

Imran Khan labeled PML-N as a progeny of dictatorship, adding, staging a peaceful protest is everyone’s right.

He said he had already announced that roads would be blocked and in reaction Rana Sanaullah had remarked: “We would take care of it”.

He said obstructing a protest is an old habit of Sharif brothers and warned that PTI’s remaining peaceful must not be misconstrued as weakness to stand against the force.
