'Was it a conspiracy or interference?' Imran Khan asks supporters at PTI power show in Karachi

ISLAMABAD, APR 16: PTI Chairman Imran Khan is currently addressing a much-anticipated rally of his party workers and supporters at Karachi's Bagh-i-Jinnah.

After the former prime minister arrived at the site of the gathering, the PTI's national-level leadership took turns delivering their speeches before Khan took the stage.

"Karachi, I thank you from my heart," Khan said in his opening remarks in the port city. I've come to talk some very special things because the problem is that of your future and your kids' future."

 

Imran Khan to address PTI power show at Karachi’s Bagh-i-Jinnah shortly

KARACHI, APR 16: PTI Chairman Imran Khan will address a much-anticipated rally of his party workers and supporters at Karachi’s Bagh-i-Jinnah shortly.

The former prime minister has arrived at the site of the gathering. Prior to his arrival, various PTI leaders from Sindh, including Faisal Vawda, Aslam khan, Khurram Sher Zaman, Haleem Adil Sheikh and Firdous Shamim Naqvi addressed the crowd.

The party’s local leadership, during their speeches, criticised in particular their former regional ally Muttahidda Qaumi Movement-Pakistan. Sindh MPA Khurram Sher Zaman branded the MQM-P “traitors”, possibly referring to their severing of ties with the PTI at a crucial time that cost them their government.

PTI leader Firdous Shamim Naqvi termed the MQM-P a party that “destroyed the city” and predicted that its seats would be reduced to “zero” in the next elections.

Imran Khan to address PTI power show tonight at Karachi’s Bagh-i-Jinnah

KARACHI, APR 16: PTI Chairman Imran Khan is expected to address a much-anticipated rally of the party tonight (Saturday) at Karachi’s Bagh-i-Jinnah.

MPA Shahzad Qureshi said that the stage — set up in the shadow of the Quaid’s mausoleum — “has been built using 100 containers”, adding that “we have never seen such a huge stage for any rally in Karachi.”

A day ago, Khan requested his supporters to carry the Pakistani flag to tonight’s gathering, adding that the “fight now was for the country’s sovereignty and real democracy”. PTI leader Imran Ismail claimed the power show would be the “biggest in Pakistan’s history” and said Khan was expected to speak by 9pm. 

PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi said it didn’t matter whether the PTI was censored, banned or its coverage blocked, the people would still come out for an independent and sovereign Pakistan. 

Meanwhile, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry claimed the “entire country” would come out to protest and every city would present scenes similar to Karachi — the “heart” of the campaign. “The ones to black out this movement will themselves get blacked out,” he said. 

On Wednesday, Chaudhry along with PTI leader Hammad Azhar had called for protests across the country every Saturday to “re­claim the freedom lost to the United States of America”.

Security

The Karachi police made detailed security arrangements and as admitted by the PTI leadership, the party extended every possible help for the security.

However, the party itself has a pool of over a thousand volunteers for all arrangements, including security, seating and movement of shuttle service from the designated points to bring families to Bagh-i-Jinnah.

“We have devised a plan. For families, we have asked to take a route that would lead them to Society traffic intersection from where they can enter Bagh-i-Jinnah through Shahrah-i-Quaideen,” Shahzad Qureshi said. “Those coming from Gulshan-i-Iqbal, Gulistan-i-Jauhar or through University Road can park their vehicles at the VIP gate of Mazar-i-Quaid.

“Similarly, parking arrangements have been made at Nishtar Park, KGA Ground and China Ground from where a shuttle service would bring the families to the venue.”

The PTI rally is being held less than a week after a storm of people thronged the Millennium Mall traffic intersection from all over the city on the call of the PTI chairman for agitation against his removal from the government via a no-confidence vote.

Even PTI critics and political pundits had no doubt that the PTI through its Saturday rally was going to “prove its Karachi power again”.

The party claimed that the show had already begun and it would not be a “less than a million people crowd” which would roar with its leader at Bagh-i-Jinnah against the “selected government”.

Pakistan condemns Israeli raid on Al-Aqsa mosque

ISLAMABAD, APR 16: Condemning the highly deplorable actions of Israeli forces during the raid on Al-Aqsa mosque, Pakistan on Friday termed “the assault on peaceful worshippers” during the month of Ramazan as an “egregious violation of all humanitarian norms and human rights laws.”

According to a Foreign Office statement, Pakistan has expressed its grave concern over the latest developments in various parts of the occupied Palestinian territories.

The statement added reports of Israeli forces’ raid on Al-Aqsa Mosque indicated that at least 152 persons were injured and more than 300 Palestinians detained.

“This highly condemnable assault on worshippers, especially during the holy month of Ramazan, is an egregious violation of all humanitarian norms and human rights laws,” it read, highlighting that in recent weeks, Israeli forces have killed dozens and injured countless Palestinians in the occupied East Jerusalem and other areas.

“This escalation of violence by Israeli forces in the Palestinian territories is deplorable,” the FO statement further added. “We pray for the earliest recovery of those injured. Pakistan also calls upon the international community to take urgent steps to protect innocent Palestinian lives, and uphold international law and principles of the UN Charter.”

The FO concluded that Pakistan reaffirms its consistent and unstinted support for the Palestinian cause.

"We support the Palestinian people for the realisation of their right to self-determination and other fundamental rights as well as a two-State solution, in accordance with relevant UN and OIC resolutions, with the pre-1967 borders and Al Quds Al Sharif as the capital of a viable, independent and contiguous Palestinian State.”
