Isamabad: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf has altered its ‘Plan C’ in less than 24 hours after its announcement on Sunday.

The party leadership met at the Bani Gala residence of PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Monday and decided to observe a strike in Lahore on Dec 15, instead of Dec 4 as planned earlier, and shut down the entire country on Dec 18, instead of Dec 16.

There is no change in the protest schedules for Faisalabad on Dec 8, and Karachi on Dec 12.

The plan for Lahore shutdown has been changed reportedly because the Jamaat-ud-Dawa has planned an event in the city on Dec 4 and 5.

PTI leader Dr. Arif Alvi said that although the Jamaat-ul-Dawa leadership had requested for a change of date. We have revised our plan for Lahore shutdown primarily because of our own concerns and lack of time for making effective arrangements. The PTI’s Punjab chapter, particularly its leadership in Lahore, wanted more time to put up a good show.

Dr. Arif Alvi said that the nationwide shutdown schedule has been changed because 16 December was the day of fall of Dhaka. Therefore, we will go to Lahore on 15 December and the date of countrywide shutdown has been shifted to 18 December, Alvi added.

He further said, in this way the PML (N) government will enjoy the opportunity of resuming the negotiations with Pakistan Tehreek-e Insaaf. Dr. Alvi claimed that PTI workers were peaceful since 110 days but they would not remain peaceful if government did not respond positively to his offer of restarting the talks and also Imran Khan could not do anything.

PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi said PTI activists would block main road but in a peaceful way. They will not force to close the markets and schools etc, Qureshi added.

Dr. Shireen Mazari said main arteries would be blocked to bring life to a halt.

Malik Asad said during addressing the participants of his party’s sit-in at D-Chowk on Monday, 

Party chief Imran Khan said the PTI was the real opposition party and it would paralyse the country if its demand for poll rigging investigation was not met.

Asad added if the ‘Plan C’ did not produce the desired result, ‘Plan D’ was ready.
