PTI General Secretary Asad Umar has said that there is an “immense threat to Imran Khan’s life; there is no doubt in that”, referring to the PTI chief’s long-awaited appearance in Rawalpindi on Nov 26.

While addressing the crowd at Rehmatabad in Rawalpindi, the PTI leader urged supporters to come out in the long march to “fix the system” that has been continuing for the past 75 years where “Pakistan’s decisions were taken abroad”.

He also bashed the government for amending the National Accountability Bureau laws to get an acquittal in cases registered against them amounting to “Rs1,000 billion”.

Confirming that the venue would be Murree Road, Umar quipped that the people of Rawalpindi were lucky that “this fight would be played in Pindi”.
