“Each city’s protest location will be announced by local organizations. Show them that no one can suppress a truly free nation,” he said. “I myself will participate in the protest at Liberty Chowk Lahore.”

The protests call comes after the assassination attempt on former prime minister Imran Khan. The attempt on his life left him with a gunshot wound to the leg. “I will give a call to march on Islamabad once I get better,” Imran said in a live address on Friday from a hospital in Lahore where he has been receiving medical treatment.
