Islamabad bans public gatherings ahead of PTI's planned nationwide protest

The Islamabad administration has banned public gatherings and rallies for two months, citing security concerns. This includes a prohibition on assemblies of five or more people in the capital, particularly in sensitive areas like the Red Zone. The ban comes as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party plans a nationwide protest on November 24. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, currently imprisoned, has called for supporters to join the demonstrations across Pakistan and internationally. PTI's demands include revoking a constitutional amendment and restoring democracy. The party has formed a committee to organize the protest, but details about its members are being kept secret to avoid arrests.
