KP Finance Minister Taimur Khan Jhagra shared a video in which he is present with PTI leader Kamran Bangash about “10 kilometres away from the toll plaza” — without specifying which — and the roads were blocked by the “huge number of cars” heading to Rawalpindi for the long march.

Sharing the view of the road full of cars behind him, he said that “Google was also showing that the road is completely blocked”, leading them to get stuck at “around halfway from Peshawar”.

Bangash thanked the “people, youth and elders of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa” for participating in PTI’s long march.
