Imran Khan urges PTI workers to reach Rawalpindi on Saturday for 'a big protest rally'.

ISLAMABAD/ RAWAT -- Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday asked his party leaders and supporters to reach Rawalpindi on November 26 for a 'big protest rally' to force the government to announce early elections. 'I am inviting the entire nation to reach Rawalpindi on November 26 (next Saturday).

'Our struggle for real independence (Haqeeqi Azadi) will continue until people get their rights.' Ex-premier Khan criticised the powerful establishment by questioning what benefit the country got through the regime since he was ousted from power in April this year. He underlined that the rising inflation and bad performance of all sectors during the last seven month clearly showed that the decision to bring the present political parties' coalition into power was wrong.
