Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan has given a call for a countrywide protest against the exorbitant hike in fuel prices. In a video message on Thursday, he called upon the people belonging to all walks of life to stage peaceful protest at 9pm on Sunday across the country against the “imported government”. Speaking about the performance of his government, Imran said the incumbent rulers have now realised that the major cause of the price hike was global inflation. The ousted premier also asked the PML-N-led government why it hatched a “conspiracy” and derail the country which was moving in the right direction. "I am also inviting political parties and women to join the protest against the imported government which is our democratic and constitutional right.”
