Imran Khan withdraws protest, says will return to Islamabad if polls not announced in 6 days

Announce election in six days, or will return to Islamabad with the ‘entire nation’, former Pakistan Prime Minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan warned the government as he addressed the protestors in Islamabad.

“He denounced the ‘tactics’ used by the ‘imported government, including raids and arrests, to stop the PTI’s march and thanked the Supreme Court (SC) for taking notice of the matter,” the Dawn reported.

Imran Khan, who was ousted as the Prime Minister of Pakistan in April, called on his supporters to gather at Islamabad’s D-Chowk for a ‘peaceful’ protest rally to demand fresh elections.

His call for the protest came after Pakistan’s Supreme Court directed authorities to allow the protest rally in the national capital and restrained them from arresting the cricketer-turned-politician.
