PTI Chairman Imran Khan has asked his supporters and party leaders to converge on Rawalpindi on November 26 to demand free and fair elections in the country.
\n\u201cI am inviting the entire nation to reach Rawalpindi on November 26 (next Saturday). I will meet you there and announce future course of action. This movement is not going to stop even after this march,\u201d he said while addressing supporters via video link in Rawat on Saturday.
\n\u201cWe can never achieve real freedom while sitting at home and living like sheep,\u201d he said as he urged supporters to come out of their homes to force the government to call snap polls.
\nImran also addressed the powerful quarters, saying, \u201cAsk anyone you want be it business community, farmers, IT sector or anyone else everyone believes that free and fair elections is the only way forward to steer the country out of this quagmire\u201d.
