GUJRANWALA   -        Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) 
Chairman Imran Khan said 
Monday that he is not afraid of 
the martial law in the country. 
Speaking to a private news channel, the PTI leader said if anyone 
wanted to impose martial law in 
the country he may impose it because he is not afraid of their action. “What is happening in the 
country is the worst as compared to what happened during 
Musharraf’s martial law,” he said 
when asked about the possibility 
of the martial law in the country.
Earlier, addressing the participants of the long march in 
Eminabad area of Gujranwala, 
the former prime minister expressed his gratitude to his supporters, saying that in his way towards the city, people showered 
their love for him. He reiterated 
that his movement is not about 
doing politics, but ‘jihad’ to bring 
actual freedom in the country.
Imran stated that his party s 
caravan will arrive in Islamabad 
in nine days and explained that 
the reason he is bringing his followers there is to bring actual 
freedom to the nation.
Slamming Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Imran said, the one 
who plunder Rs24 billion had 
been allowed to come into power. He went on to say that the nation will get freedom, when the 
law will be same for both the 
privilege and underprivileged 
segments of society.
Taking a dig at PML-N supremo 
Nawaz Sharif, PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz, former 
president Asif Ali Zardari and Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, 
Imran went on to say that the 
biggest mafia of the country has 
been imposed on the masses.
Saying that when Nawaz was 
asked to provide a money trail, he 
ran away, Imran added that now 
he [Nawaz] wants a suitable situation for himself and understanding with the powerful segments. 
While his caravan was moving 
into Gujranwala, Imran Khan

slammed Nawaz Sharif, saying 
that his party’s long march may 
contribute to Nawaz’s platelet 
count being low.
Khan also addressed his 
workers while stopping at 
Chan Da Qila and said that he 
would be continuing his journey towards Gujranwala tomorrow (Tuesday).
“As soon as we pass through a 
city, Pakistanis will see that revolution is coming in the country. 
The entire nation is a witness 
that a peaceful revolution is 
coming to Pakistan,” Khan said.
He told the attendees of the 
march that in order to ensure 
the supremacy of law in the 
country, he needed the support of the public. “We will only 
get true freedom once we can 
have a government of people’s 
choice,” he said, adding that as 
long as “thieves” continue to be 
imposed on people after seeking NROs, nothing can change. 
“This nation will never accept 
these thieves.”
Khan said that once he will 
reach Gujranwala, he would 
spend an entire day with the pehalwans there. 
“Freedom is not served on a 
plate. You have to sacrifice for 
that,” he said, adding that whenever the country would need a 
sacrifice, he would be the first 
one to render it.
As the marchers moved forward, Khan once again addressed them and said that he 
is not a mental slave to anyone. 
Speaking about how he respects Pakistani culture, Khan 
said that whenever he goes 
abroad, he makes sure to wear 
shalwar kameez as opposed 
to wearing a suit because he 
doesn’t want to be a slave to 
the West. 
“ I am not a mental slave to 
anyone. The Americans have 
made them [coalition government leaders] slaves so that 
they could not make any decisions on their own.” He reiterated that real freedom implied 
freedom from external masters. The PTI chairman also 
said that he wants the Pakistani passport to be respected 
all over the world.
Earlier, the PTI chairman had 
said the march will enter the 
federal capital on November 4. 
“Our convoys will leave from 
all over Pakistan for Islamabad. People are joining us 
from Sindh, Balochistan, and 
Gilgit-Baltistan,” Khan said. 
He also took a jibe at PML-N 
supremo Nawaz Sharif and 
said that the “fugitive is waiting for the environment of the 
country to be suitable for his 
return.”
Addressing the party workers and supporters in Kamoke, 
Imran Khan once again criticised the establishment and 
said that they should “not 
side with the thieves for God’s 
sake”. The PTI chairman added that those who stand with 
thieves will be equally responsible. “When Musharraf 
removed the two families 
[Sharifs and Bhuttos] for corruption, the whole nation 
stood with the establishment. 
But now, you have dry-cleaned 
them and imposed them on us 
again,” he said.
