PTI Chairman Imran Khan has deferred the resumption of the party’s long march for another day. The march will now resume from Wednesday instead of Tuesday, party leader Fawad Chaudhry confirmed.
“My long march will achieve the target under any circumstances,” Geo News reported Imran Khan as saying. He added that they will return only after getting the date for general elections.
Khan said that no compromise can be made with Asif Ali Zardari, and Nawaz Sharif. He said that the march will be led by PTI leaders Asad Umar and Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
