Thousands of supporters are preparing for a large Imran Khan protest after his party announced a new campaign. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership says the protest will peak on August 5, which marks two years since Khan was jailed. PTI leaders say this is a peaceful movement to demand Imran Khan’s release and to stop recent changes to the Constitution.
Even from prison, Imran Khan is leading this movement. He told his visitors that the time for talks is over and that real change requires action now. His sister, Aleema Khan, said he will lead the PTI protest from jail and that his sons, Sulaiman Isa Khan and Qasim Khan, are expected to join the campaign soon to support their father’s political struggle. The party is making preparations to organize rallies across Pakistan, especially in major cities such as Islamabad and Lahore.
PTI Ramps Up for August 5 Imran Khan Protest
The government has increased police presence in big cities, fearing a return of the disruption during earlier protests in Pakistan. In the past, many PTI members were arrested during marches, and some protests turned aggressive. This time, PTI says the movement will be peaceful but powerful, with precise demands: Imran Khan’s release and the reversal of recent legal changes.
Supporters of Khan are hopeful. They believe that the new Imran Khan protest can bring justice and restore people’s democratic rights. They are being asked to join the movement in large numbers—peacefully but firmly. Leaders are meeting daily to plan protest actions and avoid violence.
Imran Khan remains the central figure of the campaign. Even in jail, he speaks of freedom and fighting for the people’s rights. He said, “I am free in jail; those who stay silent outside are not.” His words are spreading quickly on social media and energizing his supporters to join the PTI protest.
Many believe this protest is different. It comes after failed talks with the government and growing anger over changes to the law. Analysts warn that the coming weeks may be tense if both sides don’t find a way to talk. However, PTI says it will keep pushing peacefully until Imran Khan is released.
This latest Imran Khan protest could be a turning point. People are waiting to see if it will bring change or more disputes. But what is clear is that the call for justice, led by PTI and powered by the people, is growing louder once again in Pakistan.
