August 14, 2014 will the remembered in the history of Pakistan as the day of the fall of 'Sharif Empire' at the hands of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
An electrified Imran Khan reiterated this clichéd claim while speaking at a party workers convention here on Sunday.
"Pakistan will be delivered from the jaws of Sharif family's monarchical tyranny as PTI's 'Azadi March' will bring them down on August 14, The Independence Day. Our marchers will not pull up stakes from Islamabad until they have changed the system", a roaring Khan told his 'gung ho' workers.
Khan said that Pakistan was not a democracy but a monarchy in the guise of the latter.
"This is a 'Kingdom of Sharif Dynasty', where a powerful family was sitting pretty on the throne. The democracy, the incumbent rulers so proudly brag about, is nothing but a mockery of it", said Khan vowing to 'dethrone' Sharif.
Telling PTI workers about the difference of democracy and monarchy, Khan said merit was the quintessence of the former, while the latter was devoid of it.
"A head of the state is accountable to the people, who elect him to power, but a monarch is not. That's exactly how Mian Nawaz Sharif was running the show. Can Sharifs justify spending taxpayers' Rs400 million a month for keeping their Raiwind estate so heavily guarded? Absolutely not", said the PTI leader.
Secondly, democracy was about merit, which had so wantonly been violated by the Sharif family that it was nowhere to found in Pakistan anyomre, Khan added.
"Let me ask you one thing? Does Maryam Nawaz Sharif deserve to be sitting on a government fund worth Rs100 billion. Is she worthy of the job bestowed on her by her king father? Why Hamza Sharif behaves like a de facto chief minister of Punjab and moves about like a prince? There goes the merit", said Imran Khan.
Khan also threatened the government with dire consequences if it tried to put him under any form of 'house arrest'.
"In case they shut me in PTI will shut the whole Pakistan down", Khan said.
He also warned the police against resorting to armed violence against the marchers.
"If any uniformed servile salve of Sharif family shot and killed even a single protestor, I will myself make sure the murderer is convicted, sentenced, and executed. The whole chain of command behind any such brutality will find no place to hide anywhere. Mark my words", Khan pledged solemnly.
He postulated that a peaceful protest demonstration was any political party's unalienable democratic right.'
PTI's captain also tasked his workers with bringing out at least 100,000 motorbikes to take part in their march to Islamabad.
