Calling it a “jihad” against “thieves imposed on the people”, Imran said the march will decide the future course of the country. He also termed it a “battle for power” and the “greatest freedom struggle in the history of Pakistan”.
“From October 28, our conscious nation is entering the decisive phase of the battle for its future, where the people themselves have to decide what kind of Pakistan they want to see. Get out for the sake of Pakistan,” Imran’s party tweeted.
Ahead of PTI’s long march, Islamabad police issued instructions to its officers pertaining to the code of conduct during the march, which is expected to reach Islamabad by November 4.
A total of 13,086 police officers have been deployed for the march in addition to 8,000 paramilitary personnel and 1,022 policemen from the Sindh province.
Security officers at the frontline will be deployed along with anti-riot gear, but police personnel deployed to counter the march will not be armed with weapons, said the Islamabad police.
