Imran unveils ‘occupy Islamabad’ plan
[DAWN] After keeping his friends and foes guessing for weeks, Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan  ... aka Taliban Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five... unveiled on Saturday his plan to paralyse Islamabad: party workers will block roads leading to government offices ‐ particularly those continuously being mentioned in his speeches. "Now, Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... will have to either resign or will be held accountable for his proven corruption," Mr Khan said at a gathering of Insaf Professional Forum. Mr Khan, however, hinted at the possibility of a change in the schedule of the Islamabad lock-down date. Earlier, he had announced Oct 30 as the final showdown date. Urging the masses to be ready for a longer showdown in Islamabad, the PTI chief said the workers would continue occupying roads and entrances of major government offices such as National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Federal Investigation Agency, Federal Board of Revenue and Election Commission of Pakistain.
