He Won’t Die Before Making Quaid’s Pakistan
ISLAMABAD: The injured Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Thursday said Allah Almighty will not let him die until he accomplishes the goal of making Quaid’s Pakistan and called upon the nation to reject the status quo on May 11.
Khan was addressing the PTI’s rally here at D-Chowk via video link lying on the bed of his room at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital (SKMH) where he is under treatment for back and head wounds sustained after a fall from a makeshift lift during PTI’s Lahore rally on May 7.
Imran Khan called upon the nation to give his party a chance to transform Pakistan into a state as envisioned by the founder of the nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Today’s public meeting marked the conclusion of PTI’s massive poll campaign for the May 11 general elections.
According to Geo’s correspondent, the number of people attending the PTI’s last rally of its ongoing campaign at D-Chowk was much greater than what was witnessed at the same venue in January during the demonstration led by Tehreek-e-Minjajul Quran leader Dr. Tahirul Qadri.
“Allah will not let me die until I accomplish the goal of making a new Pakistan; Quaid’s Pakistan,” Imran Khan maintained, calling upon the people to turn down those who have been doing the politics of status quo.
He recalled that he saw the dream of bringing about a change in Pakistan in 1996, believing one day Pakistani nation will rise and make it happen.
To the people of Karachi, Imran Khan asked: “Are you ready to bring about a change in your life; will you come out for change on May 11?” He told them that the parties with militant wings will never let the police department remain impartial and, therefore, the law and order situation will never improve.
The PTI chief, pointing to the people of interior Sindh, regretted that he had never seen poverty as much as he witnessed in Sindh and told them that they had a chance to break out of the clutches of landlords and chieftains by making a right decision in PTI's favor on May 11.
To the people of Balochistan, Imran Khan said give PTI a chance because it will bring the money to the grass roots level.
He said he knows that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Fata have already made a decision (in favor of his party).
Lastly, he asked the people of Punjab what progress and development was made in the province by the party that was elected five times and enjoyed power for a period of 25 years.
“Why did they fail to reform sectors like health care, education and police,” he questioned, adding they even failed to evolve a local bodies system in the Punjab.
He told the Pakistani nation including Hindus, Christians, Sikhs and other minorities’ communities that the time has come to build the Quaid’s Pakistan and that now they can’t afford to let this opportunity go to waste. “Give us a chance to bring that change,” he reiterated.
Imran Khan told the PTI’s ‘volunteers of change’ to come out on the morning of May 11 and play the roles they have taken upon themselves.
He called out the people to cast their vote in PTI’s favor. “I admit we have made mistakes but I guarantee that the MNAs and MPAs of PTI will change themselves”.
“There is something that makes me believe that on the evening of May 11 we will be offering Nawafil of thanks,” the PTI Chief said, adding ‘We will lay the foundation of new Pakistan on May 11’.
At the end the huge crowd that keenly listened to every single word of their leader was asked to repeat a pledge of allegiance. And as they did, Imran Khan was shown on screen in his hospital bed wiping his eyes as tears rolled down his cheeks.
