Imran Khan announces ‘Jail Bharo’ movement from Wednesday

Imran Khan announces ‘Jail Bharo’ movement from Wednesday. Blaming the incumbent coalition government for its “political victimisation” of his party leaders and allies, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has announced kickstarting the ‘Jail Bharo’ (court arrest) movement from Wednesday, starting from Lahore.

“We will fill jails, they [authorities] will have no space left to hide,” he said while warning the Pakistan Democratic Movement-led (PDM) government during his address to the nation via video link from Lahore’s Zaman Park residence on Friday.

In the wake of sedition cases filed against his party’s Senior Vice-President Fawad Chaudhry and other leaders, Imran Khan on February 4  announced “Jail Bharo Tehreek” and asked PTI workers and supporters to prepare for movement across the country.
