To counter the Pakistan Tehreek-i-(PTI) Insaf’s long march from Lahore to Islamabad, Islamabad Police have issued instructions to owners of hotels and guesthouses in the federal capital not to rent a room to any of the marchers, or else face the consequences.
The police have informed them that all hotels and guesthouses will be searched on a daily basis and that if any PTI worker or supporter is found staying there, strict action will be taken.
Thousands of people joined the PTI’s long march from Lahore’s Liberty Chowk yesterday to press the government to call early elections, led by former Prime Minister and party Chairman Imran Khan.
People were seen walking alongside the container, which was carrying Imran and the party’s top leadership, as well as traveling in cars and on motorcycles as the march moved slowly through different areas of the Punjab capital.
