“We are peaceful and would remain peaceful. And if the government tried to stop our peaceful march, we would block Karakorum Highway to all sort of traffic for the indefinite period,” he told a news conference here. Flanked by officer-bearers of his party in Mansehra, he said that the country’s constitution allows them to exercise their democratic right to a peaceful assembly and protest.
