dawn.com

PTI convoys resumed their march to Islamabad on Monday after a pause, with Bushra Bibi, wife of Imran Khan, demanding his release. She stated the march would continue until he is freed, emphasizing the protest's significance for the country. The convoys, led by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Amin Ali Gandapur, faced slow progress due to their size and police barriers. PTI leaders reported confrontations with police, including tear gas use, as they aimed to reach D-Chowk in Islamabad. The government has implemented strict security measures, blocking roads to the capital and preparing to detain protesters. Authorities labeled the PTI's actions a conspiracy, coinciding with the visit of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
