Senior PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry confirmed that the Tehreek-e-Insaf’s Haqeqi Azadi March will start again today and that Imran Khan’s address to the rally will be screened at 04:30 pm.

“I wiĺl also disclose the name of the second officer who was sitting with Maj General Faisal in the control room from around 12 noon to 5 pm monitoring the execution of the plot,” he said in the next tweet.

Meanwhile, PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Wednesday said that the protests against the attempt on party chief Imran Khan’s life in Wazirabad continue across the country as the FIR registered on the case is “not acceptable”.
Qureshi said that all their focus is on the FIR, which was registered without listening to what the complainant had to say.

“Justice cannot be served till Rana Sanaullah remains in his post,” Qureshi said.
He said that the PTI will return only after taking the date for the next general election and that the entire nation is ready for it. He also said that the long march will resume from Wazirabad on Thursday and that it will achieve its target under any circumstances.
