Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan will be holding a telethon on Monday for the flood-affectees in the country.
” Our senior leadership met and we decided I would do [an] international telethon to raise funds for flood affectees on Monday night,” tweeted Khan.
However, Khan also made clear that his quest for Haqeeqi Azadi will continue alongside his flood relief work.
Earlier PTI leader Asad Umar tweeted said Khan will hold the telethon Sunday.
Imran Khan visited the flood-affected areas in DI Khan. He said that he is being pressurised to collect funds but he is not doing so because he wants to be sure how this money will help the affectees.
“When I take on a project, the first thing I think about is whether I will be able to honestly spend the money on the cause,” said Khan.
Khan further added that currently he was assessing the damage caused by the floods and once he knows how much money is needed to cover the loss, then he will give people a call to raise funds.
The PTI Chairman also said that the federal government and the provincial governments in Sindh and Balochistan, respectively, should leave everything and fully dedicate themselves to helping the people who have been affected by the devastating floods.
