- PTI says it has assembled regional convoys and raised large sums for the effort, reporting Rs40 million in donations in a single day and naming local leaders to lead convoys from Malakand, Hazara and tribal areas.
- Party leaders have publicly urged peaceful, unarmed participation while using charged rhetoric, and the political committee approved contingency steps including a legal team and a planned sit-in if Governor’s Rule is imposed.
- Federal institutions and courts have issued warnings, tightened security around Islamabad, and said they are studying legal options including Governor’s Rule, making the march a focal point of the wider centre–province standoff.
