Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that the federal government was prepared to receive PTI marchers in Islamabad.

Talking to reporters outside the parliament today, he accused the Punjab government of facilitating protesters, adding that the provincial authorities were instigating a chunk of people to demonstrate.

“PTI has already wasted a lot of time […] It is too late for a long march now. But whenever they will come, we are prepared for it.”

Sanaullah also said that the reason why the PTI chief named the three people was to create anarchy in the country, adding that using the judiciary or the army for politics was “devastating for the country”.
