PTI postpones planned Islamabad long march until October 5

Meeting in Peshawar sets new date

Sources say the political committee met in Peshawar to make this decision. The party had originally intended to begin the protest on September 27. A senior leader stated the march will now leave from Peshawar on October 4.

Reasons for delaying the event

One anonymous source claimed the group felt it had already achieved its goals by closing roads. Another report noted that security preparations in Rawalpindi and Islamabad remain active despite the delay. The party continues to demand the release of founder Imran Khan.

Statements from party officials

Shaukat Yousafzai denied reports that the march was called off entirely. He maintained the party remains fully prepared for the protest scheduled for September 27. Officials plan to formally announce the postponement after consulting with other political leaders.
