ISLAMABAD: PTI chairman today challenged PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif to come to Pakistan and contest election against him on any seat.
Addressing the long-march participants in Gujranwala on Tuesday, Khan said that Nawaz Sharif would also return to Pakistan in a similar manner to Ishaq Dar.
Khan said, “Nawaz Sharif, whenever you return and contest elections, I challenge you that I will go to your constituency to defeat you.”
Khan asked his supporters to welcome Nawaz Sharif on his return and escort him to the Adiala jail.
Imran Khan said that Nawaz Sharif and PPP Co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari were making efforts to pitch the establishment against PTI.
Today is the 5th day of the PTI long-march which was kicked off from Lahore on Oct 28. The march is expected to move to Sialkot on Wednesday from where it will turn to Jhelum for its onward march towards Islamabad.
On Tuesday, PTI leader Asad Umar, nonetheless, stated that he had urged the PTI chairman to extend long-march duration in Punjab and delay entry in Islamabad.
He has linked this suggestion with a growing number of people’s participation in the long-march while PML-N and PPP leaders have claimed that the PTI leaders have failed in gathering a large number of crowd.
The PDM leaders said that this was evident from the PTI’s plan of changing its schedule to reach Islamabad. As per original plan, PTI is scheduled to reach Islamabad on Nov 4, but the party can change its Islamabad plan keeping in view the advice of Asad Umar.
