This is an open trial, and I have every right to address the media. You cannot prohibit me in this manner." Following this, he asserted, "They are attempting to subject us to servitude. We will not tolerate slavery under any circumstances. Our struggle is for the establishment of the rule of law. They will not permit the implementation of the law. They used to label us as 'selected.' Now, witness for yourselves who is truly 'selected.' All the legal cases against Nawaz Sharif in the Supreme Court and High Court have been dismissed. The Election Commission and the authorities are supporting Nawaz Sharif. His son sold a house valued at 18 billion rupees. Where did this money come from? He is a certified money launderer. Our entire endeavor is for the establishment of the rule of law, which they will never allow in this country."

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's reaction to the speech of certified criminal and fugitive Nawaz Sharif.
The spokesperson of Tehreek-e-Insaf said, "The return of a certified criminal and fugitive seeking state asylum brings disgrace to politics and politicians. Nawaz Sharif epitomizes insolence, disrespect, humiliation, and exploitation in the political history of the country. The most significant scavenger in the nation's politics has desecrated the near-lifeless remains of the constitution, law, values, democracy, and elections, venturing to repopulate his putrid domain under the protection of the state. If this shameless individual, devoid of any self-respect, possessed a shred of modesty, he would have preferred drowning over bearing the burden of disgrace on his head, engaging in politics shrouded in deals and assurances. The nation refuses to forget the ill-gotten wealth stashed in the safes of this certified criminal and the properties acquired by plundering the nation. The populace also scrutinizes those who envision controlling their country by suppressing figures like Nawaz Sharif. If state planners attempt to thrust pick pocketers and criminals forward in an unconstitutional, undemocratic, and immoral manner instead of upholding the constitution, elections, and democracy, those responsible for anti-national actions will be held accountable to the nation."
Police attack on Hammad Azhar's house.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Hamad Azhar said in his tweet, "At 2 AM, my residence came under attack from both the police and unidentified individuals. My parents were the only ones at home, and their sole intent seemed to be vandalism. Every piece of furniture in the house was destroyed. We remain undeterred by such tactics. I stand firmly with Imran Khan."
The successful election campaign of Tehreek-e-Insaf candidates continues.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's candidate for Constituency NA-128, Salman Akram Raja, with the electoral symbol "Racket," is conducting a door-to-door campaign in the Gulberg market. Supporters are enthusiastically chanting slogans in support of the party's founder chairman, Imran Khan.
The campaign for PTI candidate Chaudhry Talat Mehmood Basra from NA-163, identified by the election symbol "Shoes," and the PP-241 candidate Chaudhry Azam Ali Advocate, represented by the election symbol "Bottle," is actively underway.
Despite the fascism in all parts of the country, all the candidates of Tehreek-e-Insaf are running vigorous election campaigns.

Various items, such as papers, education certificates, birth certificates, computers and laptops belonging to the family, were confiscated from the cupboards in the house.
