Former Pak PM Imran Khan says that New Delhi's decision is for the betterment of its people

Lahore: Former prime minister Imran Khan has called upon the entire nation to get ready for a nationwide movement to achieve “real” independence and democracy, and sent a message to ‘whoever made the mistake’ of ousting him that the only way to rectify it lay in early elections.

Thousands of men, women, minor children and the elderly thronged the Greater Iqbal Park on Thursday for the much-hyped rally by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), voicing aloud their support for former prime minister Imran Khan in rejecting dictates of foreign masters and ensuring sovereignty and self-respect.

The weather turned pleasant in the evening and a light drizzle after Iftar also helped, and by the time Mr Khan took to the stage, the venue had filled with families, including children, who turned up to vociferously support Mr Khan’s narrative.

He called upon the people of the entire country, including those belonging to the PML-N and PPP, who wanted to get rid of the “foreign masters’ slavery”, to start preparing in every nook and



corner, and “wait for my call to reach Islamabad”. Expressing his respect for the Pakistan Army and the police for being state institutions, Mr Khan said he did not want any clash, but the momentum of the “independence movement” will pick up.

The former premier took an oath from the crowd that they would stay in struggle mode to achieve “real independence” and democracy in the country until fresh elections were announced.

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan once again praised India's foreign policy over importing oil from Russia, saying that  New Delhi's decision is for the betterment of its people.

Mr. Khan said that India, which is a strategic partner to the United States, is importing oil from Russia, saying that its decisions are based on the betterment of Indian people. But Pakistan's foreign policy is for the betterment of other people. Earlier in March Imran Khan has lauded the foreign policy of India and said it is independent and for the betterment of Indian people.
