November 2 protest to go on at any cost: Imran

SAYS PAKISTAN MUST RAISE INDIAN INTERFERENCE IN PAKISTAN AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL QURESHI SAYS DPC, SHUHADA COUNCIL NOT INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN ISLAMABAD 'LOCKDOWN'

PAKISTAN Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday insisted that his party’s protest on November 2 in Islamabad would go as planned at any cost with the participation of one million people.

“No matter what happens, they cannot stop us from registering our peaceful protest on the 2nd of November,” Khan told reporters in Islamabad before leaving for Quetta. He said, ‘Whenever we plan any protest some terrorism incident takes place’. Imran said India was working to implode Pakistan from inside by creating chaos and demanded that Pakistan must raise Indian interference in Pakistan at the international level.

He noted that when there was evidence of RAW involvement in Karachi and Balochistan, so why has Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif not raised the matter internationally.

“Modi leaves no opportunity to have Pakistan declared as a terrorist state, and Nawaz Sharif can barely utter a word against India,” the PTI chairman stated. “Nawaz Sharif has become a security risk for Pakistan.” He questioned why the prime minister did not raise the Kulboshan name at the UN address. Khan said India cannot defeat Pakistan militarily because the country too was a nuclear power, thus, a new doctrine was emerging there.

“The doctrine is to make Pakistan implode from inside. To make Pakistan descend into chaos without any reforms,” he said. He rubbished the government representatives’ claim that the PTI was calling militant wings to participate in Islamabad lockdown protest. ‘They are spreading propaganda’, he added. ‘This is absolutely untrue’, he added.

“Every time we call for public pressure, they start floating rumours of militant wings attacking or RAW attack,” the PTI chief said. Imran Khan strongly condemned the cowardly terror attack on Police Training College in Quetta and said he has cancelled his activities for the day.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Tuesday denied that the party had invited the Difae-e-Pakistan Council (DPC) to participate in the PTI's planned siege of Islamabad on November 2.

"DPC has its own ideology, they are holding their programme on Oct 28. We cannot stop them but we did not invite them. We did not invite DPC or Shuhada Council." The government has been creating the impression that PTI has been inviting militant organisations to participate in Nov 2 lockdown, Qureshi alleged, adding, that this was government’s propaganda. ‘We are against extremism." "We never invited any militant organisation ever," he claimed.

‘We are inviting people, students, farmers, labourers and all those who are against tyranny and injustice, no matter with which party they belong to, he said’.
