Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) on Tuesday announced that its ‘Haqeeqi Azadi’ march will resume from Wazirabad Allahwale Chowk on Thursday.

Incidentally, it happens to be the same spot where former prime minister Imran Khan was shot at while carrying out his ‘Long March.’

"Pakistan get ready!!! God willing, on Thursday, November 10, at 1 pm, the Haqeeqi Azadi Long March will resume its journey from Wazirabad Allahwale Chowk," PTI tweeted in Urdu.

Meanwhile, the First Information Report (FIR) against the attempted assassination was registered on Monday, after the country's apex court issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the Punjab Police.

Earlier, the Pakistan Supreme Court issued an order to the IG of Punjab Police, Faisal Shahkar, to file the FIR of the gun attack on the PTI chief. He was also ordered to submit a report within 24 hours.

However, Imran Khan termed the FIR filed by the Punjab province as "farcical" and added that his lawyers will soon put forward Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief's position.

Imran Khan was shot during his long march in Wazirabad on November 3, leading to bullet injuries in his legs.
