Pakistan's ex-PM Imran Khan sustains gunshot in firing during PTI's march, key aides injured

Former Pakistan Prime Minister is trying his best to make his Azadi March successful and in the latest the PTI Chief compared his struggle of freedom to Bangladesh's founder father Mujibur Rahman.

WION Dispatch: Former Pak PM Imran Khan draws parallels with Bangladesh's Mujibur Rahman in rally

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidbF5AjesUqhTe" /><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p>Currently undertaking the 'Haqeeqi Azadi March' from the eastern city of Lahore to the capital city of Islamabad, former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has made a rather intriguing comparison.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In a speech during the march in Gujranwala, Khan compared himself and his party's struggle to that of Bangladesh's late founding father and Awami League chief Sheikh Mujibur Rehman.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Leaning into the comparison, Khan said a country had split into two the last time&nbsp;a political party with a clear political mandate was denied the&nbsp;right to rule.</p>

<p>“A shrewd politician (Zulfikar Ali Bhutto), in his greed for power, set the armed forces against the then largest party (Bangladesh’s Awami League), which had won elections, causing the dismemberment of the country," said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chief.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Everyone knows Mujibur Rahman and his party won the general elections in 1970. Instead of handing over power, a clever politician set Awami League and the army on the collision course," said Khan before adding, “At present, Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari are playing a similar role as they are trying to conspire with the establishment to block the PTI’s journey back to power.”&nbsp;</p>
