Imran begins march to Islamabad for snap polls

Islamabad: Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan Friday kickstarted his long march from Lahore to Islamabad with a "Dirty Harry" dig at ISI boss Lt Gen Nadeem Ahmed Anjum, a day after the latter's unprecedented appearance at a presser to accuse him of trying to lure army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa into backing his erstwhile government.

"ISI DG, listen carefully. The things I know, I am silent for the sake of my institutions and the country. I don't want to damage my country," Imran said to cheers from the throng of supporters accompanying him on the 380km trek from the country's political and cultural hub to the capital in a purported quest for "haqeeqi azadi (real freedom)".
