Imran Khan was in his container and is reportedly injured; police have arrested the alleged person responsible

PTI Chairman Imran Khan is leading an anti-government long march toward Islamabad with Khan now saying that the protest march will continue for another 10 months till the date for elections is announced.Earlier, the plan was to reach the federal capital by November 4. It was later revised to November 8-9 and then again revised to November 11. PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry then announced the party will keep changing the dates to “tire the government out”.

This is the PTI chair’s second march toward Islamabad after he was ousted via a no-confidence motion earlier this year.

The political instability in Pakistan has also fuelled economic uncertainty, with international rating agencies questioning if the current government can maintain difficult economic policies in the face of political pressure and looming elections.
