He said the protesters would find no place to hide in Pakistan if Prime Minister Imran Khan "makes a call".

The minister asked the protesters to make arrangements for cleanliness  of their march venue  on their own since the Capital Development Authority (CDA)  has to allocate    millions of rupees to address the issue.
