Akram stated, "The Constitution gives us the right to peaceful protest, and we will not surrender under any circumstances. On November 24, the entire nation will be on the streets," Express News reported.

Meanwhile, The leadership of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has reiterated its stance of marching towards Islamabad tomorrow, with plans for a sit-in at D-Chowk, Islamabad, regardless of any obstacles.

In a meeting chaired by PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar at the Chief Minister’s House in Peshawar, senior PTI leaders including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, former President Arif Alvi, Shibli Faraz, Secretary Information Sheikh Waqas Akram, and other leaders, made the final decision to proceed with the protest.

PTI’s leadership has made it clear that the protest will take place regardless of the government’s response, and they are determined to continue their struggle for what they call a "constitutional right."

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has finalised its plan for the November 24 protest, which includes the booking of heavy machinery.

According to PTI Peshawar region president, Arbab Asim, there is no shortage of heavy machinery this time. "We will use private machinery to remove obstacles, and the responsibility for security will rest with the Youth Wing."

As PTI prepares to flex its muscles on November 24, the government has rolled out extensive security measures, including invoking Section 144 across Punjab for three days and deploying thousands of personnel in the federal capital to maintain law and order.

For the first time, high-ranking officers accompany the contingents, with district-level commanders overseeing their teams.

The Punjab inspector general is also in Islamabad to coordinate efforts.
