ISLAMABAD: PTI Chairman Imran Khan has given a 72-hour deadline to his team to ensure that his container for the long march to Islamabad is ready by Sunday, reported The News.

The publication, citing PTI sources, reported that the container is being renovated in Sector G/8-4 near the party’s secretariat in Islamabad. The party has asked for the installation of air conditioners, fans, air coolers, LED, toilets and even heaters in the container. 

A fence will guard the container.

After renovation, the leadership will decide if the container will be taken to Lahore or Peshawar. The main leadership will accompany the PTI chief on the container. 

On the other hand, the Islamabad district administration has seized over 700 containers to counter the ‘Azadi March’.

The capital police said they will manage around 1,100 containers to seal the capital off during the long march. Out of the total, 525 containers have been placed at 22 different roads.

The PTI chairman has been rallying his supporters and workers to get ready for his march to Islamabad. However, he is yet to share a date for the long march.

This would be the PTI chief’s second long march towards Islamabad after being ousted from the prime minister’s office via a no-confidence motion.

The government has been warning the PTI from coming to Islamabad and has vowed to deal with Imran Khan’s long march with an iron fist.

The government has also approached the Supreme Court with a contempt plea against the PTI chief for his long march.

Barrister Salman Safdar informed the court that it had been 12 days since the last hearing on Bushra’s bail application.

Justice Aurangzeb stated, “I experienced a high fever during my last appearance in court on October 9.”

“The recovery process was prolonged,” he noted.

Safdar said that the value of the gifts was diminished by a private purchaser, who he claimed had turned approver against Bushra Bibi.

Safdar stated that the customs authorities then assessed the worth of the commodities and found no irregularities.

Justice Aurangzeb queried, “Was it the decision of the then-executive (Imran Khan) to accept the gift after remitting 50% of the total value?”

The FIA prosecutor stated that no precedent exists for accepting gifts at 50% of their worth.

“What are your instructions on the bail application of Bushra Bibi?” Justice Aurangzed conducted a further inquiry.

“We will contest it,” stated the FIA prosecutor.

The court subsequently postponed the hearing until October 23.
