Manchester: (By Tajammul Gurmani) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) North West organised a protest outside the Consulate General of Pakistan in Manchester for the release of former prime minister of Pakistan and PTI founder Imran Khan. Former president of PTI North West Asif Butt led the protest, while Faree Butt, Bilal Hussain, Khalid Rehman and other leaders addressed the gathering. A large number of overseas Pakistanis attended the protest. The protesters also raised slogans in favour of their leader, Imran Khan. Asif Butt said that the Pakistani nation should come out on the roads against the illegal detention of Imran Khan. He said Pakistan is suffering from heavy debt from the IMF because the present regime has failed to control inflation in the country. Faree Butt said that Imran Khan has been illegally detained and that all cases against him are fake. He said they should raise their voices for his release, adding that peaceful protest is their right and they will continue this protest for the release of Imran Khan. Bilal Hussain said that the government needs accountability of corrupt generals, judges and bureaucrats, and that they must work within their parameters. The coordinator of PTI South West, Khalid Hussain, said that the Pakistani government sold PIA at a cheap rate and that the present rulers are not eligible to save national assets. “If the Pakistani nation comes out on the roads, Pakistan can get rid of the corrupt regime,” he added.
