activists and members of the media," he added.

The PTI chief assailed the rulers for fighting an "American war." "The nation wants to get out of this war, as their blood is being sold out in it," said Khan.

He demanded the government to reveal names of the victims of US drone strikes, claiming the dead were common people and not terrorists. "People, killed during drone strikes, were citizens of the country.....government should make their names public," said the party chief.

The PTI chief vowed to raise voices at every fore against the government's stance of fighting the "American war."

for hypocrisy over drone attacks. "Asif Ali Zardari doesn't condemn drone attacks....he does hypocrisy," he said.

Commenting on the ongoing rift between the judiciary and the executive, Khan threatened the government with a "tsunami march" to Islamabad, if it tried to undermine the sanctity of the Supreme Court of Pakistain.

Moreover, the cricketer-turned-politician severally criticised the Awami National Party (ANP) for being a 'pawn' of President Zardari. "The coalition partners helped Asif Ali Zardari in looting the wealth of the country," he added.

In concluding his speech, the PTI chief reiterated to build a "new Pakistain" after coming into power. "The PTI tsunami will build a new Pakistain," he said, adding the party will end American slavery from the country.

Khan also vowed to hold the biggest rally of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar's history in September.
