Members of the PTI Islamabad will be brought before the court the following week.
Asad Umar, Ali Nawaz Awan, and Raja Khurram Nawaz are among the party leaders who will be participating in the Jail Bharo Tehreek.
ISLAMABAD:
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party declared on Sunday that its members in the federal capital will voluntarily surrender their arrests to the law enforcement next week as part of the party’s “Jail Bharo” Tehreek.
At a meeting of the PTI Islamabad Region Advisory Council, which was presided over by former MNA Ali Nawaz Awan, the announcement was made.
In Islamabad, hundreds of party members, including Raja Khurram Nawaz, Awan, and Asad Umar, will appear for arrest.
According to Awan, PTI members will stage a protest outside the police station if the police do not make any arrests. The PTI leader declared, “We are fighting for the future of Pakistan.
Imran Khan, the chairman of the PTI, announced on Friday that the Jail Bharo Tehreek would begin in Lahore the following week as a show of opposition to both the alleged crackdown on party leaders and workers and the state of the economy.
I’m telling my party to start getting ready for the movement’s launch on February 22nd, Wednesday,” he said. “We will launch the movement from Lahore and then every other day launch it in all other major cities and we will fill all the jails,” the group declared.
The country’s leaders would have nowhere to go in prisons after the Jail Bharo Tehreek, the former prime minister had forewarned.
Imran claimed that the movement was a retaliation to the government’s shabby methods of using “politically motivated” cases to silence the opposition party.
He had brought up that several party leaders who were being held were being tortured. “Azam Swati was stripped naked, and Shahbaz Gill was tortured. Such measures have not previously been taken against political rivals, he had said.
“If they want to arrest us, we’ll comply with that request using the ‘Jail Bharo Tehreek. “Don’t frighten us with prisons. There won’t be any room left in jails when our movement gets underway, he had previously stated. It will destroy the fear idol.
Arrests will be made in stages, according to information about the Jail Bharo Tehreek that was made public by the PTI.
200 party workers and five leaders from Lahore would participate in the movement on the first day, and 200 party workers and five leaders from Peshawar would participate on the second day.
Party officials from a city would show up for arrest on a daily basis. At least 3,000 workers from Pakistan’s largest cities will take part in the movement.
Senator Ijaz Chaudhry, the movement’s coordinator, promised the party boss that he would personally examine the movement’s preparations.
