Islamabad, Aug 20 (IBNS) Amid ongoing protests in demand for Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's resignation, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan said he and his supporters will celebrate 'Azadi' (freedom) at D Chowk on Wednesday night.

"Tonite we will celebrate Azadi at D Chowk," the Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician said.
Meanwhile,PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi said only after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resigns from his position they will speak with the government.
The Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) and the country's government are expected to start negotiations later.
