Lahore: Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said on Saturday that he will lead his party’s election rally himself in Lahore at 2 p.m. on Sunday. He said this as he criticized the government for “killing” a party worker.
Elections are going to happen on April 30 in Punjab, but the date for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s election is still in “Grey Area”. It is because, Governor KP Ghulam Ali hasn’t made a decision.
The former prime minister, who was kicked out of office in April of last year, told his party members via video link, “I will lead the election rally to show them that we are not pets.”
This would be Khan’s first rally in more than four months. He was organizing the party from his home in Zaman Park in the capital of Punjab. The head of the PTI had been “recovering” at home from an injury he got last year.
Attack on Imran Khan
Khan was shot in the legs on November 3 as he waved to crowds from a truck-mounted container. He was leading a protest march to Islamabad to get the government to call an early election. But the march was cut short in Rawalpindi.
