Senior PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said the party will stage a ‘peaceful protest’ countrywide at 5pm today.
In a tweet, he said the nation will not remain quiet in the wake of an armed attack on party chairman Imran Khan.
“The bullet that hit Imran is a heinous conspiracy to harm the honour of the nation,” he said, adding he would meet [party supporters and workers] at Lahore’s Liberty Chowk later in the day.
The PTI is set to resume its protests across Pakistan at 5pm today as party chief Imran Khan recovers from the injuries he sustained after the attempt on his life during the anti-government protest march he has been leading towards Islamabad.
Khan has put a pause on his party’s much-touted long march which was supposed to culminate in Islamabad on November 11 till he regains his health, but has urged his supporters to continue protesting against three people whom he accuses of plotting the assassination plan against him.
A large number of PTI supporters took to the streets to lodge their protest against the assassination attempt, with clashes between the PTI workers and the police in various cities which led police to the use of tear gas to disperse the protesters.
