PTI has given a call for a country-wide protest tomorrow Friday against the proposed constitutional amendment package, what it said a discriminatory treatment with its founder Imran Khan in jail, and for the access of lawyers, PTI leaders and family to its incarcerated leader. The PTI in a statement issued stated its leaders held a meeting in which they decided to hold a country-wide protest. It was agreed to make every possible effort to block the way of amendment in both houses of the parliament, the statement said.

The party’s political committee demanded the release of Aleema Khanum and Uzma Khanum, sisters of PTI founder Imran Khan, advocate Intizar Hussain Panjotha, Azam Swati and all the arrested leaders, workers and members of parliament, including the president of Tehreek-e-Insaf Balochistan.
