PTI Long March Details
Imran Khan, the party’s leader, is finalising the plan for his movement as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) gets ready for its long march to up the ante against the government and force a timetable for quick elections.
On Friday, the march will start from Lahore’s Liberty Chowk and end on November 3 in Rawat, where the leadership will decide the next step. The party’s top aim would be to hold a large rally, and its second would be to make the protest into a sit-in.
A request for a protest and sit-in has also been made to the deputy commissioner of Islamabad on behalf of the previous ruling party.
The former prime minister gave the elected officials, including federal and provincial officials, information about the march’s schedule.
He will remain in Lahore till the march’s beginning, which will happen following Friday prayers.
At the Shahdara Interchange, the party leader will speak to his followers. The next stop will be Gujranwala, from which they will depart on Sunday morning for Gujrat.
Pervez Elahi, the chief minister of Punjab, and his son Moonis Elahi will greet the marchers when they arrive in Gujrat. After stopping in Sarai Alamgir, which about halfway between Gujrat and Jhelum, the group will continue on to Jhelum on Monday morning, when PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry will host them.
Imran will set up camp in Rawal on Tuesday, travelling there through Gujar Khan, where he will speak to his supporters at night. The highest leadership of the party will decide on the final plan of action for moving closer to the federal capital here.
As the march approaches Islamabad’s boundaries, party leaders and friends will serve as the march’s hosts initially, but as they come face to face with Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, they will decide otherwise.
Convoys from both the north and the south of Punjab, including those from Faisalabad, Sargodha, Chakwal, Mianwali, Bhakkar, and Leh, are expected to take part in the lengthy march at Rawat, according to sources. The marchers should proceed in the direction of Faizabad, where the twin cities converge.
Along with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) are preparing to move their caravans in the direction of Islamabad.
According to sources, the marchers would arrive in Islamabad in about seven days using the interval approach to prevent weariness.
Asad revealed the route of the “Haqeeqi Azadi March” in a series of tweets on Wednesday.
The march, according to him, will start on Friday at Liberty Chowk in Lahore and proceed to Azadi Chowk along the Ferozepur Road via Ichhra, Mozang, and Data Darbar.
He tweeted, “The trip to Islamabad will begin on the GT road from the following day.
He claimed that Imran and his supporters would travel through Muridke, Kamonki, Gujranwala, Daska, Sialkot, Sambaryal, Wazirabad, Gujarat, Lala Musa, Kharian, Jhelum, Gujar Khan, and Rawalpindi before arriving in the capital on November 4th.
