PTI had to halt its long march after it came under attack in which party Chairman Imran Khan and other leaders were injured.
Following his medical procedure at the Shaukat Khanum Hospital, Imran Khan held a press conference and announced that the long march will resume as soon as he recovered from the bullet wounds. He had held Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and a military officer responsible for assassination attempt on him.
He also directed his party workers to hold protests across the country until the three officials resigned from the posts.
However, the government vehemently rejected the allegations and also asked the Supreme Court to probe the incident related to attack on Imran Khan.
