SWABI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders and workers on Tuesday blocked the Peshawar- Islamabad Motorway for an hour to protest and demand the release of the party’s founder, Imran Khan.
Commuters and travelers were inconvenienced as they were forced to wait for the reopening of both lanes.
Addressing the protesting workers, Ahmad Niazi, Imran Khan’s cousin, lauded their enthusiasm and dedication of the workers who blocked the motorway at 5:30 pm and reopened it at 6:20 pm.
“We will fight for the freedom of Imran Khan Niazi till our last breath and until the last drop of blood,” he said.Earlier, the workers had been informed that Ahmad Niazi would announce a new course of action. He urged the workers to wait for further instructions from Imran Khan. Once he gives the green signal, they would return to the field to continue their sacrifices.
