The party had been preparing a central convoy from K-P, with caravans from other parts of the country expected to join it before proceeding towards the federal capital. The federal government warned the party against proceeding with the march.<\/p>\n<p>The decision was taken by the party\u2019s political committee after consultations on whether to proceed with the march on the previously announced date of September 27. A majority of the leadership had favoured holding the march as scheduled, but the committee ultimately agreed to defer it until October 4, party sources said.<\/p>\n<p>The source also revealed that Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Ayeen Pakistan (TTAP), led by National Assembly Opposition Leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai, has refused to back the proposal to delay the march.<\/p>\n<p>Achakzai has made it clear that the march should begin on September 27; otherwise, the TTAP will not support the march. The source said that they are trying to convince the TTAP chief.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, K-P CM Afridi said at a press conference at the Chief Minister\u2019s House in Peshawar\u00a0that the planned long march on Islamabad would go ahead despite road blockades and other measures. \u201cOur long march will definitely take place. This time, we will definitely come out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div data-oembed-url=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PTIKPOfficial\/status\/2103453283813617738?s=20\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-1\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=etribune&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-1&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=2103453283813617738&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Ftribune.com.pk%2Fstory%2F2631360%2Fpti-postpones-long-march-to-oct-4-party-sources-say&amp;sessionId=b897b45dffb397db709409b7d93eea86485529b6&amp;siteScreenName=etribune&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=6a3ad42b224df%3A1778106238597&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"2103453283813617738\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The chief minister criticised the placement of nails on roads at the K-P boundary, saying the move raised questions about whether the province was being cut off from the rest of the country. \u201cNo matter how many nails they put in the roads, this long march will not be stopped,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Afridi also questioned what he called a growing narrative that one province faced threats from other provinces rather than India.
