‘Laga dein martial law’: Twitter questions ‘what’s wrong’ with Khan?

Twitter has reacted strongly to a statement by Imran Khan, the Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), who said in an interview, “Let them impose martial law.” On the fourth day of his long march, his statement was addressed to the establishment in reply to a question asked by journalist Imran Riaz Khan.

“Impose martial law. If they want to impose, It doesn’t affect me,” said Khan.

Khan further added that the current political scenario in the country was worst than former President and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Pervez Musharraf’s martial law. Khan added that when PTI leaders Azam Swati and Shahbaz Gill were tortured they were told that, “Imran would face the same.”

The former Prime Minister said that he would not be scared or intimidated, adding that those who want to destroy the country’s biggest political party are cowards.

“Until there is rule of law and accountability for all, there is no future for Pakistan,” Khan said.

After the interview clip went viral on social media, Twitterati had questions about how Khan spoke and how wrong his statement on martial law was.
