Earlier on Thursday, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan reaffirmed that the long march would take place on October 4 as scheduled, while saying the opposition remained willing to hold talks with the government.
Speaking to reporters after an opposition meeting, Gohar said participants had discussed preparations for the march. He said the government had not formally contacted the opposition at that stage, adding that opposition leaders were ready for dialogue if an approach was made.
PTI had previously postponed the march to October 4 following a decision by its political committee.
