Imran Khan announced to not protest against the government on November 2 but lead a celebratory rally over admission of plea by the Supreme Court concerning Panama Leaks. In the exclusive talk, the chief minister said that the party leaders and activists did not fear legal cases against them and authority of any party was finite.
He said that the purpose of protest was to let the government know that the nation would not tolerate corruption henceforth. Earlier, he had pursued movement towards Islamabad via motorway last night along with a group of activists to participate in November 2 protest. However, his motorcade was fired tear gas shells at by police at Swabi Interchange.
The supporters had set ablaze at least eight police mobiles and around ten motorcycles on Monday night over resistance put up by police seeking to halt their movement towards the federal capital.
