ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced the schedule of its countrywide public gatherings as part of its ongoing membership campaign.
The Chairman PTI Imran Khan would address the public gatherings in which besides highlighting party’s policy on wide range of issues, he would also respond to ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) former President Nawaz Sharif’s anti-judiciary tirade.
As per the schedule, Imran Khan would address the public gathering in Sheikhupura on March 9, Faisalabad on March 11, Gujarat on March 13, Jhelum March 14, Multan on March 15, Gujranwala on March 16, and Lahore March 17.
Imran Khan will also visit Karachi wherein he would address the people on March 19 and 20.
Meanwhile in a tweet, Imran Khan strongly criticized the government for increasing the prices of petroleum products, and said “Again government chooses to target masses by adding to their burden of taxes with latest Petroleum products price hike. Shameful how government refuses to collect taxes from the powerful and allow Nawaz Sharif and others of their ilk to continue draining national resources through money laundering.”
حکومت نے تیل کی قیمتوں میں تازہ ترین اضافے کے ذریعے عوام پر ٹیکسوں کا بوجھ بڑھانے کی ایک اور کوشش کی ہے۔ کتنے شرم کا مقام ہے کہ حکومت طاقتور طبقے سے تو ٹیکس لے نہیں رہی الٹا شریفوں اور اس قماش کے دوسرے لوگوں کو منی لانڈرنگ کے ذریعے قومی وسائل لوٹنے کی کھلی چھوٹ دیے ہوئے ہے۔
