Imran Khan urges supporters to stand firm during protests in Pakistan
Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan, urged his supporters to "fight till the last ball" during ongoing protests in Islamabad. He remains in jail and criticized the government for violent actions against peaceful demonstrators. Khan accused the government of using police and Rangers to attack his supporters, resulting in casualties. He called for accountability for the violence and thanked Pakistanis abroad for their support. The government, led by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, stated it will not negotiate with protesters and plans to clear Islamabad. A case has been filed against Khan and other PTI leaders under anti-terrorism laws related to a police officer's death during the protests.
