Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Asad Umar said on Monday that the nation was standing with former prime minister Imran Khan for its 'real freedom' because “important decisions are being taken in London”. “It has been 75 years since the British left, but even today major decisions related to Pakistan were being taken in London. This is why the nation has stood with its captain for its ‘Haqeeri Azadi’,” he said. انگریز کو یہاں سے گئے 75 سال ہو گئے لیکن آج بھی پاکستان کے بڑے فیصلے لندن میں کرنے کی کوشش ہو رہی ہے. اسی لئے قوم اپنے کپتان کے ساتھ اپنی حقیقی آزادی کے لئے کھڑی ہو گئی ہے. #امپورٹڈ_فیصلے_نامنظور — Asad Umar (@Asad_Umar) November 14, 2022 Addressing participants at Chak Jhumra, Umar asked a charged crowd if they were ready for Islamabad.
