This is a blessing in disguise.
Now what Imran has to do??? VERY SIMPLE...!!!
Imran in his daily address to the nation on digital media should simply tell the people to come out in large numbers and record their protest against this desecration, and appeal to the public that they SHOULD come out carrying PTI flags... THAT'S IT.
If the gullu-buts of junta tries to baton charge, use tear gas and arrest the people carrying PTI flags, they will expose themselves of NOT allowing peaceful Muslims in their own country to protest against this heinous crime of desecration of the Holy Quran.
HOWEVER, if they allow the rallies go on, then the PTI flags from North to South and East to West will expose the junta with their pants down.
It will be a win win situation for PTI... either way.
(P/S: If JI, Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) and various other small parties can carry their party flags during their rallies then why not PTI???)
