Javed Hashmi, a senior and popular PTI leader, has decided to stay away from the protest and instead going to Islamabad, he has gone to his hometown of Multan in southern Punjab.
"Whenever there is a difficult situation, I come to my constituency to sort it out with consensus," said Hashmi on his arrival in Multan.
Sources said that Hashmi has warned PTI that the situation might go out of control, paving way for intervention of army.
Syed Khursheed Shah of Pakistan People's Party has also asked Khan to accept offer by the government.
The News International also in one of its reports said today that Khan will strike an agreement with the government by tomorrow to settle the issues.
It is believed that Khan and Qadri will give very tough time to Sharif's government and may result in the intervention of army if the law and order situation go out of control.
Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif dismissed the possibility of a coup and said relations between the civilian government and military were "cordial and fine".
