Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said that he will announce date for long march on Friday, adding that he is not expecting any “meaningful result from backchannel talks”. Imran said the incumbent rulers after suffering defeat in the recently-held by-polls have realised that they cannot compete with PTI in the election. The PTI chief also warned that if the government attempted to stop his ‘organised protest’ then it will result into chaos. Speaking about arrest and alleged torture on PTI Senator Azam Swati, Imran said he had never witnessed such victimisation of political leaders under any democracy. “Chief justice must take notice of this and inquire as to who were those people who tortured and stripped him [Swati],” said Imran.
