Akram Durrani, the Rahbar Committee Convener, said on Wednesday that the participants of the march had demanded Prime Minister Imran Khan’s resignation and won’t go back without it. In a statement, Durrani urged the government not to create any hurdles for those who were taking part in the Azadi March.
Durrani said that he had not contacted Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani or Defence Minister Pervaiz Khattak. “In fact, they were the ones who reached out to me,” he said.
He said that the JUI-F leadership would not meet government representatives without the Rahbar committee. “Even Maulana Fazlur Rehman will not meet Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi,” he said.
The JUI-F has announced a long march against the government which would begin from October 27 and would culminate in a protest on October 31 in Islamabad.
Fazl has blamed Prime Minister Khan for the economic problems of the country and has asked him to go home. Prime Minister Khan and his cabinet members, on the other hand, have warned the marchers that strict action will be taken against those who take the law into their own hands.
