ISLAMABAD: Imran Khan, founding president of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, wants to set a date for a final protest and possible sit-in in Islamabad, but he is persuaded by the party's top leadership that it could backfire if such an event is announced without proper planning and taking into account all advantages and disadvantages.

PTI sources told The News that most senior party leaders, who are members of parliament or the KPK government, do not support an all-out protest. Even some of those giving fiery speeches fear that the all-out protest option will not work and could harm the party and its cause.

Almost all senior PTI MPs are among those who are against the do-or-die protest and believe that it will neither contribute to the release of Imran Khan nor benefit the party in any way.

Instead, they warn that it will lead to more problems for the party. It is said first that the government would not authorize such a protest and could respond to it with state power, as has been done in the past. There will be more arrests and more complaints filed against party leaders and workers.

Secondly, even if the government gives carte blanche to the PTI to hold the protest, Imran Khan cannot be released from jail by the protesters or the leaders leading the protest. The party, it is said, needs resources for a sit-in similar to the one in 2014. Without proper planning and the absence of adequate resources, a sit-in cannot sustain.

It is claimed that Imran Khan got relief in different cases, and was also acquitted in some, and all this happened thanks to a legal battle in the courts. The release of Imran Khan, it is said, is possible only through legal and constitutional means.

However, some party leaders sitting abroad, the majority of those in hiding and a few who were unable to win the February 8 elections are pushing for an all-out protest. They want an immediate announcement of the date of the protest march in Islamabad and the sit-in at D-Chowk.

When contacted, PTI Information Secretary Waqas Shaikh admitted that there are two views within the party on the issue of final call for protest. He, however, said that when Imran Khan would give the date of the protest, everyone would follow without worrying about the preparation. Shaikh said that no matter what the second-tier leaders of the party thought, the party workers, despite the difficulties and cases, now really wanted a final date for the do-or-die protest.
