Supporters of Imran Khan took to the streets of Pakistan nationwide in angry protest after the former Prime Minister was arrested on corruption and embezzlement charges — allegations the progressive politician has denied and says are politically motivated.
Speaking in Urdu, Khan said the reasons behind his potential arrest were twofold. “One,” he said, “to stop me from campaigning” when new elections are announced. And two, he added, “to restrain me from mobilizing the people for a vigorous mass movement in support of the Constitution,” which he says has been violated by his political opponents and the ruling government.
“Come to me with warrants, my lawyers will be there,” Kahn says in the video. “If you want to send me to jail, I am prepared for it.”is widely read among people with lower incomes and among young people who are mired in debt.
