“Azadi march” madness: 2 days to go

12 years ago | Posted in: Latest Politics News, Pakistan, World | 721 Views

The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) is not backing down and the Pakistan Awami Tehreek will accompany its supporters in their march on Islamabad. This happens as the prime minister has called out to his opponents asking who’s putting them up to the task of bringing down an elected government.

The stock market is on a downward spiral and word on the street says the capital may be sealed by tonight. The military is also taking stock of the situation and allegations among parties are taking on unsavoury proportions. From rigging allegations to intimations of collusion in an alleged establishment-driven plot to bring down Nawaz Sharif’s government, are things finally coming to a head?

With each passing day, there are less answers that help and more questions that need tackling. Has the PTI made a mistake by welcoming Tahirul Qadri? Will Imran manage to attract some influential admirers? Will interlocutors save the day? And most importantly, what will the prime minister say in his speech on Tuesday night?

Below is a round-up of the day’s political happenings and statements which will be updated in the build-up to August 14.
