Since losing his post, Imran Khan has been holding rallies in different cities of Pakistan. They are demanding early elections. Following this, PTI started a long march called 'Haq-ki Azadi' from Liberty Chowk in Lahore towards Islamabad on Friday (October 28). Imran Khan himself is leading this long march which started with millions of supporters. 

Meanwhile, the country's government has strengthened security measures from Lahore to Islamabad around the Long March. More than 13,000 security forces have been deployed. The country's police said that tear gas will not be thrown at PTI supporters. However, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has warned of strict repression if there is any disorder in the assembly. However, PTI said that the long march will be completed peacefully.
