LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan made it clear on Sunday that he had been fighting for the last 27 years to make Pakistan a truly independent country, thus he would remain in Pakistan and would render any sacrifice to make the dream a reality rather than striking a deal or fleeing the country.
Addressing the nation on Sunday, PTI Chairman said that he was not striving for gaining power but for the future generation of the country; hence he would not compromise on his goal of Haqeeqi Azadi come what may.

PTI Chairman stated that they should not be mistaken that he was isolated or weaken due to which he was asking for talks, adding that he could not see his country was going deep into abyss that was the reason he even held talks with Gen Bajwa.
Imran Khan urged the nation that death was better than slavery because slaves had no life as only the free people can fly high and made progress.
He said that the reign of terror was unleashed to spread fear and terrorize people, however, he pressed the nation that they should not be petrified and panicked and should protest peacefully because it was their legal, constitutional and fundamental rights as he could be detained in any fabricated and bogus case anytime.
PTI Chairman stated that the ruling parties were heading the country towards destruction because they were little bothered about the country’s interest since they were solely battling for power and money.
Imran Khan revealed that they were scared of his coming into power again because they felt him a threat for their power and wealth due to which they were hell-bent to destroy the country to block his way to regain power at all costs.
Therefore, he said that the nation must be prepared for a struggle and all sacrifices because no one would offer them independence in a plate.
PTI Chairman warned that the nations succumbed to the oppression and fear, remember they had no future at all as living nations stood up for their rights and justice, because with justice came freedom.
