The PTI’s long march began on Sunday as a large convoy of workers and supporters departed from Dera Ismail Khan under the leadership of former KP chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur. The caravan was part of the party’s ongoing political campaign for the release of Imran Khan.
Before leaving DI Khan, Gandapur urged participants to keep the protest peaceful, maintain discipline and avoid violence, vandalism or confrontation with law enforcement personnel. He said the party would follow a “live and let live” policy during the march and directed workers not to take the law into their own hands.
