ISLAMABAD: Former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s Haqeeqi Azadi March reached Jinnah Avenue Islamabad and addressed the party workers where he gave six days ultimatum to the Imported Government to announce general elections date otherwise warns that he will return to Islamabad with the massive crowd from Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
After crossing all the hurdles, The Azadi Long March reached Islamabad at around midnight 26 May, 2022 but it took 7 hours to reach Jinnah Avenue where Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf Chairman addressed the workers. Khan said This Imported Government tried everything to stop us, did we stop ‘Kanpay Taang Rahi hain’ when he came to Islamabad, did we stop Maulana Fazl ur, Rehman, from Long March?
D-Chowk The battleground
D-Chowk, Blue Area had been the worst battleground since last night, Police kept firing rubber bullets, and expired tear gas was fired on workers, women, and children as a result one minor expired, and protestors set an armored vehicle on fire. The battle between police and protestors continued for nearly 15 hours non-stop.
Several peaceful protestors were injured and taken to safe places but PTI workers did not leave the place until their leader Imran Khan do not reach there.
My message for the nation: Everyone must break out of the grip of fear to achieve freedom.
حکومت صرف پولیس فورس سے آپ کو ڈرا رہی ہے، گھبرائیں نہیں، آپ سب لیڈر ہیں۔ آپ کو باہر آنا ہوگا: عمران خان
