Khan and its supporters spent the night on the Peshawar Ring Road, Geo TV said Sunday.

“They (the US) are losing the war – they can never win it,” Khan told a gathering in the town of Akora Khattak on his way to the protest site in Peshawar’s Bagh-e-Naran neighbourhood. Peshawar is the capital of the country’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The sit-in, which started Saturday, was expected to end Sunday evening. People from the tribal areas and other regions joined the protest.
