Imran Khan may take oath at D Chowk Islamabad in a public gathering

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Naeemul Haque said on Sunday that prime minister-elect Imran Khan may take the oath at D-Chowk in the federal capital.

Haque took to Twitter and said, "Imran Khan would prefer a peoples ceremony of oath-taking where thousands can watch him take the oath as PM of Pakistan."

"Perhaps D-Chowk area may be the right place to do it. Let’s hope so. Will keep on updating on this," he added.

A day earlier, while speaking to the media outside Bani Gala, Haque had said Imran would take oath as prime minister before August 14. link link

In August 2014, the PTI chief had started a long march from Lahore to Islamabad to stage a sit-in to register the party’s protest against alleged rigging in the 2013 general election.

After reaching Islamabad, the protesters had announced they would remain at D-Chowk till the acceptance of their demands.

The infamous sit-in had continued for 126 days and ended a day after a terrorist attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar in which more than 140 people, including 132 children, were martyred.
