PTI leader Raoof Hasan has said that his party’s “immediate goal” for the protests is to reverse the theft of the people’s mandate. He stated that the PTI has three options.

“One option is constitutional which is that we will stay within the assemblies and carry our struggle; our second option is legal and we are approaching relevant forums in this regard.

“The third option is to show massive strength through protests,” Hasan said in an interview with Geo News.

He said that tomorrow’s protest would continue for a day, adding that its objective was that people come out.
