ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran khan has extended the date shutting Islamabad down to November 2.
After a PTI senior leadership’s meeting on Monday, Khan announced that the ‘Islamabad rally has been postponed for three days and now it will be held on November 2.’ The much-anticipated Islamabad sit-in was originally scheduled for October 30.
Imran said he has heard rumours that the government was preparing a crackdown against the PTI rally and warned that ‘if this is true, we are also ready to face it’.
The PTI chairman said if government stays peaceful during their protest rally so would they and advised the government to avoid threatening the protesters as it would ultimately cost them.
“At present, we are only demanding the Nawaz’s resignation and after it you would lose the government,” Khan said and added that the prime minister and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari seems to be standing on the same platform.
