The Rawalpindi administration has geared up security preparations to welcome the long march of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) which is likely to enter the city today Saturday following the call of party chairman Imran Khan, who has been recuperating in Lahore after a gun attack in Wazirabad left him injured earlier this month. The inner sources revealed that marchers will remain camped at Rawat’s T-Chowk until Mr Khan announces his plan whether the march will enter Pindi via G.T. Road or take the Expressway to enter the federal capital its original destination.

In Pindi, the preparations to provide shelter and food to the marchers are in full swing and the local administration has installed 80 temporary toilets in the Allama Iqbal Park in Shamsabad while in Taxila, at least 200 bathrooms have been set up for the marchers. On the other hand PTI Chairman Imran Khan told the nation that this was a defining moment for the country. "When a nation stands up and decides not to succumb under oppression they are unstoppable. God has instructed us to stand against oppressors." He said that the nation which tolerated "these thieves" would never be able to progress.
