He lamented, “They attacked Zaman Park as if there resided a terrorist. Our workers are subjected to crackdown. Never witnessed such crackdown, even in the rule of dictatorships”.
Even, during the regime of former president Pervez Musharraf, the country did not witness a crackdown like this”.He claimed the PTI workers were being nabbed in Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
Taking a jibe at the political opponents, Mr Khan claimed, “Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari are international criminals”.
Expressing his reservations over the “delay in elections”, Mr Khan said, “The rulers will try to knock out the PTI from the race of elections as they fear that by holding the elections, politics will come to an end”.Speaking about the cases against him, Mr Khan said, “I have come to know from the court that the number of cases against me now reaches 143. After breaking a number of records in cricket, now I broke in cases. I am not worried about the cases, but about the workers.”
He urged the judiciary to provide protection of the basic rights to his party.
