Imran said: “Erdogan served his people, paid all its debt. He also stated that Turkey spent three times as much money on its education than Pakistan,”he added.
The PTI chief said that had the army taken over in Pakistan, there would have been a different scenario.
“The Turkish public saved democracy in their country,” he said. “Meanwhile in Pakistan, some people are ruling as kings in the name of democracy,” he added.
Imran said that when the government sincerely worked for the people, then the masses sided with it. He also stated that democracy had nothing to fear from the army but Nawaz Sharif’s dictatorship.
“The country is being looted in the name of democracy,” he said. “Institutions are being destroyed and democracy is being ruined in the country,” he added.
He asked the people of Azad Kashmir to vote for his party. “A strong Pakistan is vital for held valley’s freedom,” he stressed.
