ISLAMABAD:
The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is all set for its ‘million-strong’ gathering at Parade Ground in Islamabad with party workers from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and other parts of Pakistan coming in droves to attend the “historic” gathering.
The PTI caravans include buses, wagons, and cars adorned with posters of Prime Minister Imran Khan highlighting the theme of the gathering, ‘Amarbil Maroof’.
So far, scores of vehicles have entered Islamabad via Srinagar Highway to attend the so-called million-strong rally. The PTI supporters coming via Hazara, Lahore, and Peshawar motorways are making victory signs and chanting pro-Imran slogans as they exit the motorways.
In a tweet about the gathering, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry boasted of the apparently large number of workers coming to attend the rally. “The so-called caravans of JUI-F and PML-N have disappeared from the roads,” he said, adding that all “caravans coming to Islamabad belonged to Imran Khan”.
The federal minister also urged the public to attend the PTI rally to listen to the “historic address” of the prime minister. In a video statement, Fawad said that the “brave Pakistani nation needed a brave leader like Imran Khan who would never make the people bow their heads”.
Fawad said PM Imran was the benefactor of Pakistan and under his leadership, Pakistan laid the foundation of an independent foreign policy.

The minister said that in the past it was said about Pakistan that money could buy everything here, but today Pakistan stood tall because of the PM Imran’s courageous leadership.
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi claimed the PTI will hold the largest public gathering in the history of Pakistan.
“This will not only be a public referendum of confidence in Prime Minister Imran Khan, but the nation will also send a clear message that we will fight evil and stand with the truth.” He added that victory belonged to the truth.

Federal Planning Minister Asad Umar said: “Today’s occasion will not just be a rally but [it] will be a rewriting of history. Today, Pakistan will decide to rid the country of illicit money. We will live as an independent nation.”
آج ایک جلسہ نہیں انشاءاللہ ایک تاریخ رقم ہونے جا رہی ہے. پاکستان آج فیصلہ کر رہا کے سیاست کو حرام کے پیسے سے نجات دلانی ہے. ایک خوددار خودمختار قوم بن کر زندگی گزارنی ہے. #iamImranKhan

Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Sardar Abdul Qayyum Niazi also visited the Parade Ground ahead of the rally. Talking to the media, AJK PM Niazi stated that the decision being made tomorrow — alluding to the no-trust motion in the National Assembly — is one that PM Imran has “dreamt of for 26 years”.

Niazi further stated that a large number of Kashmiris from Rawalpindi would attend the meeting and that so many people were coming from Muzaffarabad that there was a shortage of cars. “Hundred thousands of Kashmiris will arrive from Muzaffarabad, Mirpur, and Kolti to express solidarity with Imran Khan”.
