โPrior to the elections, although an atmosphere of fear prevailed, I had predicted that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf would achieve a clean sweep, and that is exactly what happened. Today I am making another prediction: the injustice, oppression, fascism, lawlessness, and economic devastation in our country are propelling Pakistan rapidly towards a situation like the one seen in Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
I instruct all PTI parliamentarians and party officials: now is the time to perform as the genuine opposition. Whoever does not do so, will dig their own political grave because that is what the people expect. We sought legal remedies against every injustice, including the theft of our mandate, but did not get justice; therefore, now is the time to stand firmly in opposition. The more you cooperate, the more you will be oppressed. Those who do not resolutely stand against this dispensation will dig their own political graves.
I call upon the entire nation to focus their attention on the Peshawar rally to be held on September 27th. People from across the country should participate in this gathering and raise their voices against oppression.โ
