A PTI leader hinted on Thursday that the protest march in Islamabad could be postponed if the government agreed to three demands: releasing party chief Imran Khan, holding elections within six to eight months, and conducting a judicial inquiry into the May 9 and November 26 crackdowns on the opposition. Advocate Naeem Haider Panjutha said the protest could be postponed if these three assurances were given by the government.
However, party spokesperson Sheikh Waqas Akram denied any such proposal was being discussed, insisting only Imran Khan could take a decision. The government deployed Rangers in Islamabad and multiple districts of Punjab ahead of the PTI protest.
