PTI decides to postpone Sept 27 Islamabad long march

ISLAMABAD: The PTI leadership decided on Friday to postpone the party’s planned long march towards Islamabad, which was originally scheduled for Sept 27, by more than a week. According to a senior leader, who requested anonymity, the march will now leave from Peshawar on Oct 4. He added that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi would make the announcement soon. “There was a proposal to exhaust the federal government and law enforcement agencies, as they have already closed the federal capital and a number of routes,” he said. The leader claimed that the PTI had already achieved what it wanted to do via the march. “They have closed the roads and are spending hundreds of millions on officials of law enforcement agencies. So we want them to continue spending on them,” he said.
