ISLAMABAD / LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has convened a meeting of his party’s core committee on July 15, to finalise the programme for the ‘long march’ the PTI plans to stage in Islamabad on Aug 14 in protest against alleged rigging in the 2013 elections.

According to PTI spokesperson Dr Shireen Mazari, the core committee would finalise the programme after seeking suggestions from party leaders.

She told Dawn on Sunday that the PTI was determined to hold its ‘Azadi March’ peacefully.

The government has reportedly sent an invitation to Mr Khan to attend the official Independence Day ceremony in Islamabad, but Dr Mazari expressed ignorance about it.

But a PTI source said the core committee would consider the invitation and decide about the party’s response to it.

PTI’s vice chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi said in a statement that the Aug 14 march would be peaceful and there would be no change in its date.

He warned the government not to try to stop the long march, otherwise it would itself be responsible for any situation arising out of its decision. “There will be no chance of a clash if the government does not create hurdles in the way of the long march,” he said.

Mr Qureshi said it was the responsibility of the government to maintain peace during the march.

He appealed to the PTI workers to reach Islamabad on Aug 14 by crossing all hurdles.

Meanwhile, Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafiq at a news conference in Lahore urged Imran Khan not to turn the Independence Day into a day of agitation.

“Indulging in politics at a time when the country is fighting a war will do more harm than good,” said the minister at the hurriedly-called news conference at the Lahore Press Club.

He urged the PTI chief to change the date of his long march. “Pakistan’s Independence Day celebrations date back when both Mr Khan and I were not born. This year too August 14 will not be merely an event of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz. We will extend an invitation to Mr Khan and other political leaders to enthusiastically take part in the Independence Day celebrations.”

He said everybody should fly national flag on August 14 all over the country instead of those of their respective parties to boost the morale of the defenders of our motherland.

What will imran khan gain with organizing peaceful march? and why exactly he want to do this march?
I guess, it will be just another show like *will give final call* :D
In these time these march/calls will do more harm than good so, IK should reconsider the dates..

For all the respect I once had for this man, all I have, now, is bitterness and loathing. What an absolute fraud of a person and what an equally incompetent following. Disgusting.

As a resident Islooite who voted for Imran Hashmi, holding PTI's ticket in the general elections, the only thing I've seen happening since, is PML-N working to bring this country out of the despondent quandary which it has been forced into and PTI (and all its allied forces) hampering them from achieving that end.

I often ask the question, does IK even care about Pakistan any more or has his hunger for power and his foolish lust for forming government, completed blinded him from the real goal of achieving a prosperous Pakistan?

I don't want a re-election even if there was rigging in 4 of the 270+ constituencies and neither should you. I definitely won't be voting for PTI any more. I want a political party which works - I don't want a circus on the streets. Imran Khan has been more disappointing than I could possibly ever have imagined.

The protest on the 14th has every characteristic of a political event waiting to turn into a disaster. Stay at home. Your war is not with Pakistan. Why must you constrain the federal government to employ its resources to contain a riot in D-Square. Is it not enough that we are at war on our Western Border? Is it not enough that we are without electricity and on the threshold of a water crisis? Is it not enough that we are rife with poverty and our economy is teetering on the edge of collapse? Why must you burden us with sectarian and political violence too. I don't understand.
