LAHORE: PTI chairman Imran Khan on Thursday evening called upon people to join his “Haqeeqi Azadi Long March” taking off from Liberty Chowk at 11am on Friday (today).
“The purpose of the long march is not any political gains or to topple the government but to make sure that our future is not decided by foreign players,” said Mr Khan in a video message on Thursday evening.
He said the long march would also look to ensure the provision of justice to every citizen of the country.
Later, Mr Khan briefly appeared at the party’s container anchored at the Liberty Roundabout and urged people to come to join his long march in droves.

IK's statements keep changing and it is confusing. Didn't he say few days ago that long march is to force early election? Is it not the same as "toppling" the Govt?

Becoming more and more clear he failed to pressurize and to save embarrassment he is pretending as if he is deciding course / impact. You are failing miserably and loosing respect quickly….

This man has done everything what he deplored in past. He has no clear vision and path. In KPK he has Govt for a decade but nothing has changed. I am not supporting past Govts but this man has polarised the society so much that a civil war cannot be ruled out in our country

@Justice, No, it does not mean that. Toppling the government is removing a government by force. Demanding elections is a legitimate form of protest. The present setup is not sustainable. The country needs to have elections immediately.

@Justice, No that is not the same. Topple would imply that they physically try and take over. He is saying this is to put pressure on the government, to to emphasize a need for early elections and there is no intention to do anything illegal. Basically a peaceful protest which is his and everyones right.
