The convoy of Ali Amin Gandapur inches closer to Islamabad. The convoy left Khyer Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday, November 24, 2024. After crossing several hurdles including barricades, shipment containers, and police force, protestors are finally reaching closer to Islamabad.
Through to Islamabad, police clashed with protestors and marchers. PTI workers and supporters removed the barricades after serious clashes with Police at different points, especially near Attock. Videos and images of protestors clashing with Police are circulating on social media.
The former first lady Bushra Bibi, wife of Imran Khan, encouraged PTI protestors from the container heading towards Islamabad from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. She has joined the CM KPK Ali Amin Gandapur on the way to Islamabad.
From time to time she briefly addresses the protestors and marchers from the container. She declared: “I will stand firm until my last breath. You must stand with me, and even if you don’t, I will continue because this is not just about my husband; it is about this country and its leader.”
She further said: “I don’t just hope; I am certain that the Pashtun people are a proud nation, and they never abandon their support until the very end.” Bushra Bibi concluded her brief speech from the container encouraging and energizing the protestors and marchers.

Meanwhile, the federal government has sealed the entry points of Islamabad. PTI plans to stage a sit-in protest at D-Chowk in the federal capital. Later, upon reaching a rest house near the Hazara Interchange, Bushra Bibi stepped out of her vehicle and responded to the workers’ chants by waving at them.
Rallies from all over Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab have started reaching Islamabad. Containers were placed at major points to stop the marchers. However, the furious and charged protests removed these barricaded shipment containers paving the way for the convoys to Islamabad.
