Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Reforms Asad Umar warned the Pakistan Democratic Alliance (PDM) and the media on Friday of being severely beaten if they even think about coming to Islamabad on a long march.

The senior PTI leader was speaking at an event in Islamabad.

After announcing new developmental projects, Umar told the opposition and its ‘facilitators’ in the media that they better steer clear of Islamabad, or they will be beaten black and blue.

"Imran would neither bow before anyone nor is frightened of any situation. Khan shot down two Indian jets when challenged by [Indian Prime Minister] Modi. Nawaz Sharif and sons were forced to run to London along with their relatives," he said.

Responding to Umar’s warning, PDM leader Hafiz Hamdullah said that opposition alliance will do a long march.

He challenged the government to stop them if it can. “The government is discomposed now that it’s time is nearly ended,” he said.
