The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leadership has asked its workers to remain ‘unarmed’, but besiege police stations and roads if police try to detain them or impound their motorcycles.
In order to counter police highhandedness ahead of the Azadi March on Aug 14, the “Insaf” Youth Wing (IYW) has constituted a 3,000-member quick response force called as ‘Insaf Youth Special Services Group’ (IY-SSG) to give cover to participants of the long march.
Although Imran Khan has repeatedly warned police against obeying illegal orders of the authorities, the PTI Punjab office and residences of party workers were raided by police yesterday.
It is learnt that the PTI chairman’s appeal has been conveyed to traders for giving funds to make Azadi March a success.
The party leadership has asked its workers to store petrol in case petrol pumps were ordered closed.
