Prominent journalist Absar Alam has revealed the incomes of seven YouTubers in November, the same month in which Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had staged a protest march towards Islamabad.

 

Talking on his Samaa TV show Mere Sawal, Absar recalled that following the “final call” of party founder Imran Khan, the convoy led by Chief Minister (CM) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Ali Amin Gandapur and former First Lady Bushra Bibi marched towards the federal capital on November 24. The protest ended after police launched an operation on the night of November 26, leading to violent clashes and deaths.

 

PTI had demanded the repeal of the recently passed 26th Constitutional Amendment, the release of all political prisoners, including Imran Khan, and the return of their mandate.
