MNA Sheikh Waqas Akram advised the party workers from central Punjab and Lahore to reach at Minar-e-Pakistan on Sunday.
PTI fresh strategy for protest demonstrations has created a major challenge for the government as it vowed to stop them from reaching Islamabad and Lahore.
At a time when KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur convoy has almost reached at the door of the federal capital, the government is planning to stop it from reaching D-Chowk.
Police and law enforcement agencies have placed barriers at major routes leading to Lahore and Islamabad. The government has also deployed army for the security of Islamabad.
In Lahore, police have placed barriers and hurdles at Liberty Chowk, Jail road, Mall road, Thokar bypass, Babusabu motorways interchange and other spots.
The security agencies have also blocked roads by placing containers at GT road inside Islamabad and motorways, according to reports.
