Bushra Bibi, the wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, has issued a stern message to party members ahead of the planned protest on 24th November.

She made it clear that any member of the National Assembly or party official who fails to attend the demonstration will have no affiliation with PTI.

The statement came after a meeting of PTI members in Peshawar, which saw the participation of members from southern districts, along with Bashra Bibi, who addressed the gathering.

In her remarks, she reiterated the message from her husband, Imran Khan, urging the party to take to the streets on 24th November in defence of the constitution, rule of law, and parliamentary supremacy.

She added that every provincial and national assembly member should film their journey as part of a convoy from Peshawar to Islamabad for the protest. The video should also capture PTI supporters accompanying the members in their vehicles.

Bushra Bibi made it clear that any absentee members or officials on the day of the protest would be considered as having severed ties with the party.

She emphasised that the movement was an effort to uphold constitutional values and assert the supremacy of Pakistan’s democratic institutions.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has finalized its strategy for a large-scale protest on November 24, with plans to 'storm' Islamabad from all directions.

According to sources, the PTI leadership is determined to reach Islamabad at any cost, and significant responsibilities have been assigned to the party's leadership in Islamabad and Rawalpindi regions.

Sources indicate that the protest will begin with regional leadership organizing mass demonstrations in Rawalpindi and Islamabad until the convoys from other provinces arrive.

PTI has assigned separate routes for each provincial convoy, with the final destination being Islamabad. The leadership is yet to decide on the exact location of the sit-in once they reach the capital.

The party has emphasised that the protest will continue indefinitely, and the core committee members have suggested the possibility of staging the sit-in at D-Chowk.
