Pakistan vows to secure Islamabad as Imran Khan's supporters march for protest
Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has pledged to "protect Islamabad" as thousands of Imran Khan's supporters march towards the capital for a protest. Security forces are heavily deployed, and mobile and internet services are restricted in the area. Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party called for nationwide protests, claiming a "stolen mandate" and demanding justice. The government has implemented roadblocks and barriers to limit access to key areas, including D-Chowk, where the protest is planned. In response to the protest, the government has declared a public holiday for educational institutions in Islamabad. Train services between major cities have been suspended, and public transport in the capital has been halted due to security concerns.
