PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said that his party’s long march was aimed against the “thieves sitting atop the country right now”.

“Over 60 per cent of the cabinet is on bail […] the prime minister and his son were about to be sentenced in cases but were then given an NRO. They (the government) found a way out of Rs1,100 corruption cases against them by passing laws and NAB amendments in the parliament,” he said in an address via video link.

Imran said that his march toward Islamabad was his right. “And we are telling the nation to come out because we won’t accept this injustice […] people need to understand the rule of law.”
