Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that the long march would begin on Thursday, rather than Wednesday, just a few hours after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan announced yet another schedule modification.
Imran Khan informed Lahore's top media on Monday that the lengthy march will now begin on Wednesday rather than Tuesday.
However, Shah Mahmood Qureshi told the media in Lahore on Wednesday night that the lengthy march will resume on Thursday rather than Wednesday.
The PTI has repeatedly shifted the day they want to continue the march without providing an explanation.
Imran Khan has previously told the press that he and Asif Ali Zardari would never be able to reach a compromise with Nawaz Sharif.
It is impossible to go up against the Pakistan Army, Imran Khan has declared. The selection of the head of the armed forces is none of my business. I look at the soldiers guarding our borders as if they were my own offspring.
The former prime minister assured me that my protracted march would eventually succeed. Have to get back to you on the election date. Everyone in the country is waiting now.
Conversely, protests are happening across Pakistan after being called for by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf party.
On Murree Road in Rawalpindi, protesters set fire to tires as a form of symbolic protest. Because of this, traffic on several of Rawalpindi's expressways, motorways, and the IJP Road slowed to a crawl.
Tehreek-e-Insaf blamed Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, and an army officer for the attack on former Prime Minister Imran Khan in Wazirabad, and called for their resignations. The demonstration was to begin at the time specified.
Rawalpindi residents took to the streets to voice their disapproval. They disrupted traffic on Murree Road by setting fire to tires in several locations while shouting anti-government chants.
However, as soon as news of the demonstration spread, schools in Islamabad emailed and texted parents asking them to personally collect their children from school, apologizing for having to run buses on a holiday.
Similarly, the evening papers at National University of Modern Languages Islamabad have been postponed for today.
Lahore's protest was postponed yesterday because of a Raiwand Tablighi meeting, but it will resume today at 7 p.m., and a rally has been called for in front of the Governor's House.
Protests are also happening in Peshawar, Taxila, and other places around the country.
