JUI-F leader Maulana Fazlur Rahman along with other protestors are demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Imran Khan, fresh elections and the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO). 

The 'Azadi March' caravan started from Sindh on October 27 and reached Islamabad on October 31 after crossing Lahore on October 30. 

Earlier in November, reports were that the Azadi March participants have started 'settling down' for a long haul in Islamabad, but after the announcement made by the Fazlur Rehman today the scenario appears to be different.
