Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) General Secretary Asad Umar said on Tuesday that PTI Chairman Imran Khan is "fighting for Pakistan's future" in his address to the Insaf Students Federation (ISF) in Chiniot.

In his speech, Umar told the ISF that the "youth are the future of the country" and that Imran Khan is continuing this battle for them.

The PTI senior leader was welcomed by a large crowd of party supporters and was showered with rose petals as he led the long march to Chiniot.

'No way out except fresh elections'

Earlier today, Umar stated that there is "no way out except fresh elections" as the party resumed its 'Haqeeqi Azadi' march from Gujrat post-noon.

He took to Twitter after a Gallup survey revealed that 88% of Pakistani businesses believe that the country is going in the "wrong direction".

He said that this is a "staggering vote of no confidence in the current setup," adding that elections were the only way to keep the country from "sinking further with each passing day".

PTI's long march

PTI leader Mussart Cheema shared the route for the Haqeeqi Azadi March today on her official Twitter account.

She said that the march will leave Gujrat under the leadership of PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi at 1 pm.

The first stop will be at the Musa House near Grand City GT Road, Sarai Alamgir at 2 pm, which will be hosted by Musa Elahi. Later, the party's vice chairman will address the participants at 2:30 pm.

At 3 pm, the march plans to continue toward its second stop at the Mirpur Ada in Sarai Alamgir. According to Cheema, they will attempt to reach the destination by 4 pm.

"The second gathering will be hosted by Chaudhry Ilyas," informed the PTI leader.

Further, she said that Shah Mehmood Qureshi will address the crowd at 4:15 pm, after which PTI Chairman Imran Khan will make his address at 4:30 pm.

Cheema expressed hope that "like every stop of Haqeeqi Azadi march, the people of Sarai Alamgir will also respond to the call of the chairman and will join the march".

K-P CM urges nation to participate

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Chief Minister Mahmood Khan in his address invited everyone to join the PTI long march.

He requested party supporters as well as members of the media to join the march toward the capital. He said that they will depart from the province based on the expected date which is to be announced by Imran Khan.

'Record attendance'

Taking to his official Twitter handle, PTI leader Faisal Javed Khan claimed that there was "record attendance" of PTI supporters at the Haqeeqi Azadi March in Mandi Bahauddin and Jaranwala yesterday.

He informed that Imran Khan will address the participants of the march in Sarai Alamgir, Chiniot, Swabi and Upper Dir today, and reiterated that the nation demands "immediate elections".

"The time has come for the imported government to be exported," he tweeted, adding that Pakistan rejects such "slavery".
