Mounting pressure on embattled Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, opposition leader Imran Khan today vowed to fight till death and asked Pakistanis to rebel against the illegal regime after two persons were killed and about 450 others injured in police crackdown on protesters.
"I request all the nation, civil servants, bureaucrats and police to rebel against this illegal government," Khan told his supporters.
The cricketer-turned-politician asked officials to ignore all illegal orders from the PMN-L party-led government.
"I am prepared to die fighting for the freedom for my people," he said, adding, "allah ya azaadi ya maut (either freedom or death)".
His comments came hours after police baton-charged hundreds of anti-government protesters led by Khan and Canada-based fiery cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri who marched towards Sharif's residence in the high-security 'Red Zone' here demanding his resignation.
