The Pakistani opposition leader set a two-day
deadline for Nawaz Sharif to step down and vowed to continue his
‘dharna’ (sit-in) in Islamabad.
Pakistan cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan
on Sunday asked the people to stop paying taxes to the government in a
civil disobedience movement to oust Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from
power.
“We will not pay electricity and gas bills, the
general sales tax and other taxes until Nawaz Sharif resigns,” Imran
declared in what has been described as his political career’s most
important speech to a huge crowd in the capital.
Imran, who heads the parliament’s third largest
political bloc and is Tehreek-i-Insaaf chief, said he does not want to
promote disorder and lawlessness in the country. He stopped short of
asking the crowd to overrun the ‘red zone’ which houses the PM House,
the Parliament House and other sensitive buildings because that would
lead to clashes with security forces and bloodshed.
Imran set a two-day deadline for Nawaz Sharif to step down and vowed to continue his ‘dharna’ (sit-in) in Islamabad.
Parallel to Imran’s gathering, cleric Tahirul
Qadri also addressed an equally impressive crowd of dedicated followers,
during which he said Sharif has only 24 hours left to resign, failing
which his people would be ready for a ‘revolution’.
Sharif curtailed his weekend stay in Lahore and
flew back to the capital for intense talks with close aides to tackle
the evolving situation.
