PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Tuesday said that Imran Khan’s long march to Islamabad “serves no purpose” and this was why the public had rejected it.

“There aren’t as many people in the long march as there are in the Punjab police for Imran’s protection,” she claimed at a press conference in London.

“For five days this long march is stuck in Lahore and yesterday we were hearing that it won’t reach Islamabad in 9-10 days. When you start at three in the afternoon and end at 6, you won’t reach Islamabad even in a month.”

She also warned the people of Gujranwala to be careful because a “garhichor [watch stealer] is wandering in the city”.
