Fawad Chaudhry urged Lahoris to join Imran Khan in the streets:
PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry asked Lahore residents to join former prime minister Imran Khan in the streets to “transform the system of Pakistan.”
If you don’t join the Haqiqi Azadi march (read: freedom march) today, you should not care about the current system. If you want to reform the current system, leave your home; else, your children’s life will be spent in this corrupt system, Fawad tweeted.
