PTI chairman says he will unveil future course of action at Lahore rally on August 13.
Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan has asked minority communities to join his movement for “real freedom”, saying society can never proposer without rule of law and justice.
“The aim of Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) is to provide justice to the people. Our war is against elite capture and a small group of people who have been imposed upon the country” he said while addressing the minority.
National Day of Minorities is being observed today (Thursday) to honour the services rendered by minorities for the creation of Pakistan and their subsequent contribution to nation-building.
The government declared August 11 as National Minority Day in 2009.
The PTI chief said he considered minorities equal citizens of Pakistan.
Imran also condemned the practice of forced conversion of minorities on the pretext of marriage, saying there is no compulsion on non-believers to accept Islam.
Calling justice and rule of law two main components to achieve ‘real freedom,’ he said human rights and humanity are the bedrock of society.
“A society can never prosper without the rule of law everyone including rich and poor must have equal human rights,” he added.
Speaking about his upcoming rally in Lahore, he told the gathering that on August 13 his party will celebrate ‘real freedom’.
He also added that he will also unveil a future course of action on how to achieve ‘real freedom’.
