SARGODHA: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) President Makhdoom Javed Hashmi visited Sargodha on Saturday and met party workers regarding preparations for the Azadi March scheduled for Aug 14.

He said the march would be held at all costs and the public would decide the fate of Pakistani politics at D Ground, Islamabad.

He said the march was aimed at liberating the country from the corrupt government which had turned Pakistan into a family fiefdom.

He said the government had assassinated the people in Model Town.

He urged the workers not pay heed to speculations of any deal with the government.

PTI District President Chaudhry Mumtaz Kahlon said more than 100 buses would leave Sargodha for the Azadi March.
