Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has admitted that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf can bring 20,000 to 30,000 protesters to Islamabad under the True Freedom March.
The minister was responding to queries on the Twitter space late on Friday.
Commenting on PTI’s march in Lahore, Rana Sanaullah said that Imran Khan could gather only 10 to 15 thousand people and 500 to 600 vehicles in a city of 20 crores.
He said that PTI will succeed in bringing 20 to 30 thousand followers to Islamabad.
Comparing the Azadi March of PTI with the long march of PML-N under the leadership of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, the minister said that the march of PML-N was very crowded.
Rana Sanaullah said that if former Prime Minister Imran Khan wants to talk about the election, he will sit with the coalition leaders unconditionally. He further said that the talks will be beneficial for Pakistan.
The leader of Muslim League (N) said that if Imran Khan agrees to sit down and negotiate, looking at the situation in the country, then he is ready to talk.
But Imran Khan is saying that he would rather die than sit and talk with his political opponents.
Rana Sanaullah said that Imran Khan has publicly promised that he will not enter the red zone and will limit his march to the place specified by the Supreme Court.
He was referring to the PTI chief’s speech at Liberty Chowk in Lahore where he said that PTI protesters will not enter Islamabad’s red zone.
The federal minister said that Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has formed a committee to deal with the march. After Imran Khan’s public commitment, we will consider allowing him to enter Islamabad.
If the march is peaceful, we have no power to stop them, he said, adding that if they come with the aim of besieging Islamabad, the administration will be forced to act.
