Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s first-ever audio session on Twitter Spaces, where he touched on numerous issues and answered questions posed by the public, was watched by half a million people from around the world, according to PTI leader Dr Arslan Khalid.

In response to an inquiry regarding a threat to his life during today’s rally in Lahore, Mr Khan stated that he would attend whatever. “Minar-i-Pakistan is unique in that it is where the Pakistan resolution was delivered. Indian Muslims made the decision to seek [their] own [home]land. There will also be a debut of our independence movement. “I expect a record number of people to attend,” he predicted. “From the place where a resolution for a separate homeland was passed years ago, we will begin our fight for freedom,” he said.

Congratulations to @arslankhalid_m, @agentjay2009 and @MoizUrRehman_ for hosting it, what an honor, #PTISMT is always ahead of the game, keeps innovating! So lucky to be part of IK’s team.
