The PTI has been on a public engagement campaign and has organised similar rallies since the past few weeks in Bhawalpur, and Dera Ghazi Khan. It also plans to hold another rally in Sahiwal on January 29.

These rallies attempt to mount pressure against the government as the proceedings over the Panama Papers are currently underway in the Supreme Court against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his children for owning offshore companies and properties abroad.

Imran Khan has said the landmark case is a “war against corruption’ which will lead the country into a new era of prosperity.
