Imran Khan's party suspends protests in Islamabad after violent clashes with police

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has temporarily suspended street protests in Islamabad after a major security crackdown. Hundreds were arrested during the raid, and at least six people died in clashes between protesters and security forces. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the violence, calling for accountability for those responsible for the attacks on Rangers and police officers. He emphasized the need for medical care for the injured and labeled the protesters' actions as anarchistic. The PTI had been demanding Khan's release from jail, with protests led by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. The situation escalated as security forces used tear gas against the demonstrators, leading to violent confrontations.
