PTI MNA Umair Niazi has said that party founder and ex-premier Imran Khan has decided to call for countrywide protests on March 10 (Sunday).

Speaking to reporters outside the Adiala Jail, Niazi, in an apparent reference to the ECP’s verdict on reserved seats, said, “This decision has stolen the rights of the women of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

“Khan sahib has said that we will not let this happen. This is why — he had said of Saturday but then he said there are presidential elections on that day — he said to [hold protests] on Sunday,” Niazi added.
