LAHORE: PML-Q senior leader Pervaiz Elahi has said the 
‘Azadi March’ will end only after sending Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif 
home. 
“On Aug 14 everyone will be on the roads and reach their 
destination in Islamabad to oust the government,” he said while 
addressing party workers at his residence here on Wednesday. 
Elahi said the PML-Q was actively taking part in the march. 
“Our
 workers will take part in the protest march against the government from
 across the country. The rulers do not believe in justice, human rights 
and the Constitution. Even provision of food items and medicines in 
Minhajul Quran was being denied,” he claimed. 
He said the rulers 
had first insulted people’s mandate through massive rigging in the 2013 
elections and now they were insulting orders of the judiciary to remove 
containers from roads. 
“The siege of Model Town was continuing 
like Gaza. We respect the judiciary and will continue to do so. There is
 no need to seek permission from anyone for revolution and freedom 
marches,” he added. Condemning Nawaz’s criticism of media, the senior 
PML-Q leader said they should review their attitude and thinking about 
the media. 
“They regard the media as servant of Ittefaq Foundry,” he added.
