Tension gripped parts of the country, as police clashed with PTI workers after authorities tried to block them from proceedings towards the capital, where former prime minister Imran Khan plans to hold a large political rally.
Khan — leading a large caravan from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — is expected to reach Islamabad soon, as the PTI is adamant about its demand for the government’s removal and an immediate national election.
He vows to hold the “biggest march” in the political history of Pakistan if the government does not agree to his demands. According to the latest update, Khan’s caravan has entered Punjab after supporters removed barricades from the Attock bridge.
In a video, the PTI chairman announced that he was about to reach Islamabad within an hour.
Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that PTI workers have started reaching D-Chowk and removed the containers placed to seal the area. Police resorted to using tear gas to stop protestors from entering the place.
