Islamabad police prepare for large PTI protest with extensive security measures

Islamabad Police are preparing for a large protest by the PTI party on Sunday. They have mobilized thousands of security personnel, anti-riot gear, and requested reinforcements from other police forces. Section 144, which limits gatherings, has been extended for two months. The police's extensive preparations suggest a heightened response to the protest, which is a common aspect of Pakistan's political landscape. Critics argue that the security measures may be excessive, as the number of police could far exceed the number of protesters. PTI leaders are under pressure to ensure high turnout, which some view as a sign of insecurity within the party. Both the PTI and the Islamabad administration are urged to maintain a focus on peaceful protest and lawful conduct as the event approaches.
