Imran Khan in his speech punctuated with loud slogans of the cheering crowd and national songs, said he would introduce a strong justice system in Pakistan under which free justice would be provided to the poor.
"Quaid-e-Azam never wanted you to bow before anyone, I will ensure that you don't have to bow before anyone."

Imran Khan announced that his government would organize two seminars every month to present his parties' policies.
"During Tehreek-e-Insaf rule a civil system will be introduced which will ensure that even Imran Khan's car is stopped for over-speeding."
He said Pakistan was supposed to become a welfare state, adding the very first welfare state of the world was formed during Khilafat-e-Rashida which was based on Islamic principles.
He said Tehreek-e-Insaf would root out corruption within 90 days and bring about reforms in the overall system.

Announcing about Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's next public meeting, he said 'the next stop for the Tsunami will be Quetta on March 23'.
Responding to Nawaz Sharif's 10-over match, Imran Khan asked him to organize the match as early as possible as 'you might no longer have a team' (in near future).
He said Sindhis, Urdu speaking, Memons, Punjabis, people from Hazara, Multan, Gilgit Balitistan besides minorities were present at the rally.
Imran Khan also greeted the Christian community on the occasion of Christmas saying "Merry Christmas".
He specially thanked Zulfiqar Ali who he said sold his mobile phone and came all the way from Dera Ghazi Khan to attend the rally.
Imran Khan congratulated the Karachiites for 'beating the Tsunami of Lahore'.
Talking to his diehard cohorts, an optimistic Khan said, “The team I led went all the way to clinch the world cup; my Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital team managed to achieve what many trashed as impossibility, now I want you to be on my team to make a new Pakistan become a reality."

NATO troops late to notify seniors: US CentCom
WASHINGTON: US military's Central Command in its investigation has revealed that it took 45 minutes for a NATO operations center in Afghanistan to notify a senior allied commander attack on Pakistani check-posts in Mohmand Agency, The New York Times reported.NYT report stated that once alerted, the commander immediately halted American attacks on two Pakistani posts. But by then, military communications between the two sides had sorted out a chain of errors and the shooting had already stopped.
The delay raises questions about whether a faster response could have spared the lives of some Pakistani soldiers, the report said.
An unclassified version of the 30-page report, released Monday by the military’s Central Command, also revealed for the first time that an American AC-130 gunship flew two miles into Pakistani territory to return fire on troops that had attacked a joint American-Afghan ground patrol just across the border in Afghanistan.
The NYT report further stated that American officials said the first allied mistake was that NATO had not informed Pakistan about the patrol, so the Pakistani soldiers would not have known to expect allied forces nearby. NATO and Pakistani forces are supposed to inform each other about operations on the border precisely to avoid this kind of mistake.
