Supporters rally in strength to attend PTI's 'thanksgiving celebrations'

Thousands of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) supporters, led by Imran Khan and accompanied by other party leaders, gathered at Parade Ground in the federal capital to 'celebrate victory', following the Supreme Court hearing of Panamagate petitions.

"I warn you Sharif brothers, do not use the police like you did in the past few days," said Imran while referring to police actions taken in the run-up to the planned Nov 2 'lockdown'.

Imran reiterated it was the people's right under a democracy to stage protest against corruption. The PTI chief also hailed the supreme court's verdict.

As a final message to the participants of the rally, Imran said "Pakistan has changed, a new era has begun. From tomorrow the accountability will start in the Supreme Court of Pakistan".

Party supporters chanted “Go Nawaz Go” slogans upon the arrival of Imran Khan at the rally. PTI's party anthems were played from the stage as the workers waved party flags.
