The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Tuesday decided to hold a rally in Islamabad Jan 17.
The PTI's strategic committee made the decision during a meeting, held at D-Chowk in the federal capital, Dawn online reported citing sources.
However, the purpose of the rally was not mentioned.
On Dec 17, the PTI had announced its decision to suspend countrywide protests, in the aftermath of a terrorist attack on a Peshawar school that killed more than 140 students and teachers.
Imran Khan had announced the party's decision to suspend their protest movement saying that the country was in need of unity.
The PTI, along with Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT), had launched a campaign against the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in August, demanding that he resign over alleged rigging in last year's polls.
