ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said that the occupants will not give real independence to the nation as they enjoyed the benefits of the system, ARY News reported on Thursday.
While addressing new office-bearers at Islamabad’s Jinnah Convention today, Imran Khan said that independence needs sacrifices and struggle as nobody will give independence easily.
