Former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has backtracked from the six-day ultimatum he had given to the unity government for the announcement of the fresh elections, Express News reported. After reaching Islamabad on May 25, Imran Khan surprised many by announcing to call off the much-hyped long march to the capital. However, he had given a six-day deadline to the government for announcing the election date — an ultimatum which expired on Tuesday. "The government is trying to intimidate people... the shells that were used [against protesters] in Islamabad were the same that were used against the terrorists," he added. Imran Khan further said that the Almighty does not allow anyone to remain ‘neutral’.
