PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry has shared a new schedule for the party’s long march, saying that the caravan, which is currently in Gujranwala, will not be able to reach Islamabad by Sunday, as was the original plan.

Addressing a press conference, he also said the protesters would spend the entire day today in Gujranwala.

Chaudhry said the decision to slow down the trek to Islamabad was made to prevent accidents with “thousands of people walking alongside the caravan”.
