The defiant politician said the anti-inflation movement will continue until Sharif-led government is sent packing.
PTI also announced to hit the streets against electricity and gas load shedding, calling upon distressed masses to join protests to be led by PTI lawmakers across Pakistan.
Fawad mentioned that Imran Khan will join the agitators during the third week of the protest. He also slammed ruling alliance members to accept a technocrat government, calling it another trick to delay general elections.
