ISLAMABAD: Lashing out at the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government over what he called ‘dynastic politics of Sharifs,’ Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Monday said that he will lead the march into ‘Red Zone’ of the federal capital on Tuesday, when his deadline expires.

“Because I am worried that the police is ours and you are also mine, and I do not want any clash with police. That’s why I have decided I will lead the march to the Red Zone,” he said to the protesters.

“Police will have to decide whether they will fire at Imran Khan or not. I know the Pakistani police will not shoot at Imran Khan,” he said. To the “Gullu Butts,” he said if they raise arms against workers, they will have no place to hide.

“The world will witness the power of the Pakistani nation tomorrow.”

He asked the party workers to promise that they will follow behind him, and that “if something happens,” he will take the first bullet.

“You have to promise not to embarrass your leader. You have to stay peaceful. Do not break as much as a potted plant. It will be a peaceful march.”

He pleaded to the Islamabad police not to engage in violence tomorrow.

Imran Khan felicitated his party administration for better arrangements of the sit-in today compared to past few days. He said a civil disobedience movement was the best way to get freedom from oppressors.

He claimed that the crowd at the sit-in was getting larger with every passing day. The PTI chief lamented that the poor has to pay taxes on everything.

Addressing the youth, he explained difference between democracy and monarchy. "In democracy, rulers are answerable to the masses and in monarchy they are not," he said.

The statement comes soon after the PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi announced that PTI lawmakers will resign from all assemblies, save Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to strengthen the civil disobedience movement Imran Khan announced on Sunday.

On Sunday, he appealed to the people to stop paying utility bills and taxes to the current government, accusing Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of plundering the national wealth to enrich his business empire.

Khan and populist cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri, who led his own "long march" from Lahore, claim the May 2013 general election which Sharif won in a landslide was rigged.

They had promised to mobilise hundreds of thousands of supporters to capitalise on popular dissatisfaction with the corruption, power cuts and insecurity that blight daily life in Pakistan and oust the government.

But Khan was left looking increasingly isolated on Monday as mass support failed to materialise and other opposition parties refused to rally to his call.

Govt may put me under house arrest, fears Imran

Speaking to his supporters later on Monday night, PTI chief Imran Khan said that he has received a threatening message that the government may put him under house arrest.

The PTI leader warned the government that they should not attempt to place him under house arrest, saying that it would be a big mistake on their part.

Imran warns IMF against loans

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan warned The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank not to grant loans to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) led government.

Terming the PML-N government illegal, Imran Khan said that when PTI forms government, it will not pay back loans taken by the incumbent government.

Addressing the sit-in participants, Khan also invited overseas Pakistanis to join the civil disobedience movement and suspend remittances.

He argued that the ruling regime plunders their remittances, so overseas Pakistanis should not send foreign exchange during the rule of the PML-N led government.
