PTI TO HOLD RALLIES EVERY DAY UNTIL MAY 14: For Justice, Constitution.

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan announced Saturday that the entire nation has decided to stand with the constitution and the chief justice.

"It is the entire nation's decision to stand with the Constitution and [against] the way this mafia is putting pressure on and doing propaganda against the chief justice and [other] judges," Khan said while addressing workers at a rally at Lahore's Lakshmi Chowk, held to support the Constitution, Supreme Court, and the chief justice of Pakistan.

The PTI held rallies in four cities - Lahore, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, and Peshawar.

Announcing the plan for daily rallies, the PTI chairman said starting next week, his party would hold rallies every day till May 14. He said he would come out and prepare the public to protest if elections were not held. "When a country's Constitution is violated, it means the justice system and the rule of law have ended. Most of all, it means that the nation has lost its freedom and become slaves. We will not rest till elections are held and Pakistan is free," he stressed.

Imran Khan criticised the state of the country, saying that inflation was three times higher than the time the PTI was removed from power and people's purchasing power was diminished. He said Pakistan would rise up and the PTI would establish the rule of law and make a great country, but, elections were needed before that.Lead-2

The former premier thanked the people for coming out and attending the rally in support of the Supreme Court, Constitution and chief justice.
