ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan said on Saturday that he would address two public meetings every week in different cities across the country after Muharram.

Addressing the participants of PTI’s sit-in here, Mr Khan said his party had succeeded in spreading its message about ‘Naya Pakistan’ through the dharna. Thousands of people attended the PTI rally in Gujrat on Friday, he said.

“I appreciate your courage that you continued the sit-in despite difficult circumstances. It is because of your passion that the people of Pakistan have got a realisation about their rights in a democratic country,” he said. “In the end, you will be the winner.”

Mr Khan said the PTI had planned special programmes during Muharram and would broadcast videos of alleged corruption by former president Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif.

He claimed that all political parties were against his party’s sit-in and said: “I will not call off the sit-in until Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resigns.”

He said there would be a sea of people at his party’s sit-in in Islamabad on Nov 30.
