Earlier, PTI leader Hammad Azhar wrote in a tweet that the rally on Thursday was set to begin at 1pm.

The PTI official account confirmed on Twitter that PTI Chairman Imran Khan will spend the day in Wazirabad and that protesters from Sindh are set to become a part of the march today.

PTI leader Ali Zaidi tweeted on Thursday morning that “the convoy from Sindh reached Gujarat last night and God willing, we will join the real freedom long march from Wazirabad today.”

He thanked leaders of allied PML-Q Moonis Elahi and Hussain Elahi for giving the convoy “a warm welcome and making the most comfortable arrangements for all of us.”
