STORYLINE:
Former international cricket star and now Pakistan politician, Imran Khan, at a rally in Islamabad on Saturday pledged his party would fight the "crooked politicians" leading the country.
"We hope", he said, "that by next 14th of August we will see a new Pakistan."
He said that the party he started in 1996 - Pakistan Tehrik-I-Insaf (PTI) - has started a nationwide campaign for change, fighting the status quo and people he referred to as "these crooked politicians, the alliance of the crooked, this crooked mafia which in the name of democracy is plundering this country."
There was wild applause and flurries of flower petals as Khan unfurled a national flag at a rally marking 64 years since the country was created in the break-up of British India, in front of the parliament building and presidential palace.
The crowd, several thousand strong, many clutching pictures of their leader, clapped and chanted.
According to Khan the present government is not truly democratic and has capitulated to the US.
Observers say his strong line on US drone attacks in the country''s tribal areas has resulted in the support of some of right-wing parties, including the Sunni Tehrik and Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam, as well as the Sindh National Front.
