The ousted prime minister of the country met young journalists, social media activists and YouTubers on Wednesday and discussed political aspects of the country such as constraints on freedom of speech.

The long march in the South Asian country has been organised for the past few days demanding an early election in the country. thousands of Khan's supporters have been showing their support.
