ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that the success of the rally had proved that the PTI’s efforts had not gone in vain. “Many political pundits had advised us to not approach the court but the Supreme Court’s verdict has proved that we had made the right move by doing so,” he said while addressing a party gathering. “The people are the true essence of democracy. I, on the behalf of myself and the entire leadership of PTI pay a tribute to the people who empowered this movement.” “The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) who were made a subject to Punjab Police’s barbarism and our women who were mistreated in Islamabad, it is for your steadfastness that we are here tonight”, Qureshi added. “They said that corruption is not the people’s issue, their issue is poverty. This is a futile exercise. But the people of Pakistan and the PTI endorsed our stance” Qureshi said. “When the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) started to comprehend the actual meaning for the verdict, they stopped distributing sweets. They said that the proceedings have been prolonged enough, the people are tired now. Are you tired? Let them know you aren’t” he added. “I am addressing the farmers of Pakistan who have been suppressed. Will you suffer or will you speak for your rights? I am addressing the labourers of Pakistan will you not raise your voice for what is rightfully yours? I address the people of Pakistan who are suffering from 20 hours of load shedding daily, will you reaming silent or raise the slogan?” asked Qureshi. ”This gathering here will give the verdict – Go Nawaz Go”, Qureshi concluded.
