ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said that a "day of accountability" will begin from Peshawar on August 7.
Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, Imran Khan said the protest march will begin from Peshawar and will end in Attock.
"Rulers are answerable to people in democratic set up," he said, adding that those who were terming the PTI's street movement as a ploy against democracy do not know the meaning of it.
Imran said he was not launching a protest movement but just mobilizing the masses against corruption, adding that they were giving another chance to the government over terms of references for the inquiry commission on Panama Leaks.
"We are preparing our people to raise their voice against corruption. We are in essence strengthening democracy here," he said.
Imran said he was considering moving the Supreme Court against corruption and indifference of government over Panama leaks.
He said PTI would participate in the next meeting of the ToRs committee.
The PTI chairman also criticised the National Accountability Bureau, saying corruption had instead only risen since the establishment of NAB 15 years ago.
Meanwhile, a woman disrupted Imran Khan’s press conference to voice her grievances against the provincial education department.
The woman, who said she was an assistant sub-divisional education officer, began crying soon after getting in front of the cameras.
Imran had to stop the press conference as the woman started protesting against the alleged corruption of some officers of the KP education department who she said had lodged an FIR against her.
