Islamabad: Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan urged all Pakistanis to participate in his party's much-hyped long march on Saturday (Nov26) in what appears to be his final showdown with the incumbent government to force it to announce early election date.

"Dear Pakistanis, I want all of you to participate in our haqeeqi long march in Pindi at 1pm on Saturday," he said in a short video statement.

Imran, who was removed from power through a vote of no confidence in April, said that only a nation which has justice in it will get real freedom. "When there is justice, there are rights. When there are rights, a nation is free. Only an independent nation is prosperous," he went on to say. The former premier said that the nation will not stay silent until it gets real freedom. "I am coming for you despite my [health] condition and all of you need to come to Pindi for me," he concluded.
