As police detained more than 600 activists of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf in different parts of Punjab province, party chief Imran Khan directed his workers to escape arrest and reach Islamabad on November 2 for a final showdown with the Nawaz Sharif Government.
Cricketer-turned-politician Khan also advised party supporters to travel in groups and instead of taking the main route where police is stationed they should opt for hidden routes to arrive at the site.
Earlier, the party had planned different rallies today in Islamabad and other parts of the country to motivate the people to reach Islamabad.
A day after clashes between PTI workers and police in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, the Punjab police have closed Peshawar-Islamabad motorway and Attock Bridge by placing containers to stop the PTI workers from reaching the capital on November 2 when Khan and his supporters have a plan to lock down the city from the rest of the country.
In Khyber Pakhtunkhawa where the PTI is in power the interior ministry has clarified that the federal Government would treat the CM.
