Imran Khan to start long march from Lahore on Friday, while addressing a press conference in Lahore today, said that he decided to start the anti-government long march on Friday at 11:00 am.
“The long march will be started from Liberty Chowk of Lahore,” he declared.
“This long march is not for doing politics as we are fighting for the future of the country. We will head towards Islamabad with the nation from GT Road.”
He said, “It is beyond politics as we are fighting for real independence. The jihad for real independence will decide our fate. We have to decide now whether we have to get rid of these thieves or be their slaves.”
PTI chief simplified that there was no timeframe for the end of the forthcoming long march. “I am claiming now that it will be the largest-ever march of history.”
“I want to appeal to the nation to choose a path in this decisive time. The nation will have to decide whether we will accept the rulership of the thieves or make the country a sovereign state,” said Imran Khan.
“The thieves imposed on us and their handlers are treating the nationals as chattel. They think that the nation will stay silent after whatever they do to them.”
Imran Khan said that the PTI government had performed greatly in all sectors. Also said that the then opposition organized three long marches – two by Maulana Fazlur Rehman and one by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari – throughout the PTI government and never banded from holding protests.
Imran khan said that PTI marchers violently tortured for holding a peaceful protest on May 25. He also criticized the government for the registration of ’24 FIRs including cases under terrorism charges”.
To a question, Khan said that political parties will not close doors for dialogues. “We are always ready for holding talks. However, I am sure that they will not hold elections. In the previous elections, they failed to win the polls despite vote-rigging.”

He said long march will be a peaceful protest, however, he spoken doubts that the government will try to interrupt the peaceful protest. “We will enter Red Zone in Islamabad and we will follow the law.”
