Barrister Gohar and his party members informed Imran Khan about the meeting with the US ambassador, on which he expressed satisfaction.

Talking about the anniversary of the May 9 incident that had sparked after the arrest of Imran Khan from the premises of Islamabad High Court, Gohar announced a peaceful protest across the country.
