The rally was staged by the PTI to express solidarity with Gill and record a protest against, what Imran claimed, the “blatant fascism” prevalent under the “imported regime”. “I want to tell my neutrals that this is a problem of Pakistan [hence] it’s imperative for you to stand with the people and justice instead of ‘thieves’,” Imran added. In Gill’s case, Imran claimed, when the PTI had approached the Islamabad police and Adiala jail authorities to inquire who was involved in torturing him, they simply replied that they had received orders from the “top”. Alleging that the rule of law was violated in Gill’s case, he said the PTI would approach the apex court. The PTI chief said he was seeing that the nation had fully awakened.
