Imran Khan's party cancels Islamabad protest after deadly clashes with security forces

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has canceled its planned protest in Islamabad after violent clashes with security forces. The decision follows a government crackdown on the demonstrations. PTI claims that eight of its members were killed during the protests, while police report six deaths, including four paramilitary personnel. The unrest occurred near D-Chowk, a key area in the capital. Security forces used tear gas to disperse PTI supporters as they attempted to breach barricades. The situation has led to a retreat by the party's leadership amid ongoing political tensions.
