Govt ready to deal with PTI’s ‘bloody’ march   

The federal government is looking at all kinds of possibilities as it is not even ruling out the possibility of deaths during the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) long march towards Islamabad as evident by its directive to the police to keep coffins ready, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Monday. 

Quoting its sources, the channel reported that the government had decided to show no leniency towards the marchers. 

They revealed that the government had now called in contingents of police, Rangers and FC from provinces in order to prevent the situation from descending into chaos during the march.  

These contingents would start reaching the federal capital tonight, they added. 

Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan had yesterday (Sunday, May 22, 2022), after the party’s core committee meeting in Peshawar, announced that his workers would set out on a long march on May 25 in order to force the ‘imported’ government to immediately announce the general elections.
