PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat has called on the nation to come out on Sunday and protest against the detention of party founder Imran Khan, imprisonment of political prisoners and the alleged theft of people’s mandate.

In a post on X, Marwat said Imran was being denied basic medical facilities and was suffering from an eye infection and severe dental pain.

“This barbarity must stop and Khan sahib should be given immediate medical treatment,” he said.

“Pakistanis, do not desert Khan sahib, or give up on him — you will [be] plunging your entire next generations into darkness,” Marwat stated.

“You must understand your strength and it is simply your large number and courage, if you all come out together, no one can hurt you or stop you from achieving anything!” he added.
