Interior ministry directs Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to block state resources for PTI rally on November 24

The interior ministry has instructed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief secretary to prevent the use of state resources for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rally scheduled for November 24. This follows PTI's ongoing protests against Imran Khan's arrest and alleged election rigging. In response to the planned protest, the government has deployed security forces in Islamabad and extended Section 144, which restricts gatherings. Law enforcement will seal Rawalpindi from 50 points to block PTI supporters from entering the capital. PTI officials maintain that the rally will proceed despite government measures. A crackdown on PTI leaders and activists has already led to over 30 arrests ahead of the event.
