A major right-wing religious party in Pakistan announced on Thursday that it will begin its 'Azadi March' on October 27 to oust the "incompetent" government of Prime Minister Imran Khan, blaming him for the economic woes of the cash-strapped country.

The decision by Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam - Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman comes two days after the leadership of top Opposition parties, PML-N and PPP opposed any "solo flight" for the ouster of the government and decided to hold an all parties conference to develop consensus among all them, media reports said.
