ISLAMABAD - Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan has warned the rulers to read the writing on the wall and stop plundering the nation any further or face an avalanche of public outrage. He said that the nation had already rendered immense sacrifices and had been robbed unscrupulously by the corrupt rulers and if extorted any further, the nation would wrench its rightful share out of them. Imran called upon the nation to rise up in unison against this diabolical system of oppression and wage a crusade against forces of darkness to steer the country out of this maelstrom crisis, says a press release issued here on Saturday. He said that the public had vehemently rejected the Governmental loadshedding formula while the electricity tariff was being raised to push the nation further into darkness and the farmers were also being robbed of their harvest due to the failed policies. Imran addressed public rallies at Patoki, Sahiwal and Pakpattan the other day. He said that Pakistan was a highly resourceful country and while the corrupt rulers feast off national bounties, they exhort the hapless nation to keep offering sacrifices to propitiate their insatiable appetites. The nation has been rendering sacrifices since independence and now is utterly starved and strapped and unable to offer any further sacrifices, he added. A certain clique has monopolised the national resources, which evades taxation and keeps sacrificing the public at the altar of loadshedding, corruption, unemployment, inflation and terrorism, he further said. He disclosed that the nation was being subjected to such draconian loadshedding merely to inure them to exorbitant electricity produced by rental power projects. Only to line up their pockets through hefty kickbacks and lucrative commissions, the corrupt rulers are subjecting the hapless nation to such severe chastisement, he added. While lamenting the tall claims of the Government of it completing its 5 year tenure, Imran said that they were not capable of discharging their duties in an efficient manner. Worst form of dictatorship has been foisted on the nation in the garb of democracy with a shameful pantomime being staged at the expense of the patriotic farmers who had to bear loss of Rs 200 per maund of wheat, he said. He deplored this blatant extortion of the patriotic farmers, who had helped Pakistan attain self-sufficiency in food, at the hands of avaricious middlemen who were hands in glove with the corrupt rulers. He said that those who labelled democracy as the best form of revenge had unleashed their vengeance against the public. The challenges faced by the nation are compounding by the day and only a matter of time before the lava of public outrage shall erupt sweeping away everything in its wake, he warned. PTI Central Vice President Admiral (Retd) Javed Iqbal, General Secretary Punjab Asif Khan and local PTI office-bearers also addressed the rallies.
