The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has hinted at the possibility of organizing a long march in response to the alleged electoral rigging and the continued detention of party Founder Imran Khan.
PTI leader Hamad Azhar took to social media platform X to convey the party's stance on the matter. He emphasized that there was no chance of 'moving on' until the release of former prime minister Imran Khan. Azhar also underscored the importance of releasing all political leaders and workers and returning the nation's mandate to its rightful place.
جب تک عمران خان ، تمام سیاسی قائدین اور کارکنان کی رہائی نہیں ہوتی اور قوم کا مینڈیٹ اسے واپس نہیں کیا جاتا تو 'move on' کا سوال ہی پیدا نہیں ہوتا۔ طاقت کے ایوانوں میں بیٹھے اس عوام کو اتنا ہلکا مت لیں کے یہ ان کے ظلم، جبر اور دن دیہارے کے ڈاکے کو خاموشی سے پی جائے گی۔ معاملات…

In a series of tweets, Azhar warned those in the corridors of power against underestimating the resolve of the people, who could easily digest the 'injustice and daylight robbery' of their mandate, and hinted at the rapid progression towards a decisive long march. He asserted that the entire nation would take to the streets in solidarity with the PTI's cause.
