“We will launch a long march on February 27 from Mazar-e-Quaid to Islamabad,” Bilawal said briefing media after PPP’s Central Executive Committee meeting in Lahore.
The PPP leader shared a white paper and said it will highlight the “incompetence and corruption” of the ruling PTI. “PPP has waged a struggled in the past to rescue Pakistan and we are ready to do so again,” he remarked.
“The workers of the party will reach Islamabad at all costs and put forth their demands,” he said. “All institutions should remain neutral.”

The PPP leader also demanded fair and transparent elections and urged a probe in foreign funding cases against PTI.

“PTI’s declared and undeclared accounts should be made public and a Joint Investigation Team should be formed,” Maryam Nawaz said.
