“They were keen of arresting and lodging false cases. We are ready to shed blood if needed for the country and next generations. Imran Khan has put his life at stake for the nation,” he said.

Meanwhile, PTI chairman Imran Khan announced ‘Jail Bharo Movement’ and asked his supporters to gear up.

While addressing the nation, the former prime minister said his party decided not to opt for a nationwide strike due to the worsening economic situation which will deteriorate even further, and instead chose to fill the prisons as part of their agitation against the government.

“We have two options. We could have gone for a strike and demonstrations, which is also a democratic way. Since the state of economy is so bad, it’ll worsen. Therefore, I ask all my workers, the Pakistani nation and everyone to prepare for ‘Jail Bharo movement’,” he said.

The former premier, while addressing the youth and nation, added that his party will not remain silent quiet on the violence being inflicted on his party’s members and would now prepare Jail Bharo movement
