WAZIRABAD, Nov 3 (FD): The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will resume its Haqeeqi Azadi March to the federal capital from Wazirabad on Thursday, the seventh day of the long march.
The party’s official Twitter handle announced that party chief and deposed premier Imran Khan will spend the day in Wazirabad.
According to PTI leader Hammad Azhar, the rally is set to continue from Kot Khizri in Wazirabad from 1 pm today.
The party’s caravan from Sindh, led by PTI Sindh President Ali Haider Zaidi, reached Gujrat last night, and will be joining the long march in Wazirabad.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan is leading an anti-government long march toward Islamabad, the march has entered into seventh day and currently it is has reached Wazirabad.
Earlier, the plan was to reach the federal capital by November 4. It was later revised to November 8-9 and then again revised to November 11. PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry then announced the party will keep changing the dates to “tire the government out”.
PTI chief, who embarked on the long march to the capital, hoping to whip up a show of support to topple the incumbent government, addressed a huge gathering in Gakharmandi on day 6 of his movement, where he said that the march will not conclude after reaching Islamabad.
He continued saying that Pakistan cannot progress unless there is justice and rule of law, as mentioned his struggle for the conviction of corrupt politicians in the previous government.
This is the PTI chair’s second march towards Islamabad after he was ousted via a no-confidence motion earlier this year.
The political instability in Pakistan has also fuelled economic uncertainty, with international rating agencies questioning if the current government can maintain difficult economic policies in the face of political pressure and looming elections.
