Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced a major protest in Islamabad on November 24, promising a "surprise" for the government. This follows a call from imprisoned founder Imran Khan for nationwide demonstrations against alleged election rigging and arrests of party members. PTI leaders claim the Punjab government has intensified crackdowns on their supporters, with over 100 arrests reported. In response, the Islamabad administration has imposed Section 144, restricting gatherings for two months, but PTI insists they will proceed with their plans. PTI is mobilizing supporters, with leaders tasked to bring thousands to the capital. The ruling party, PML-N, has criticized PTI's ability to gather such numbers, suggesting logistical challenges. PTI leaders remain confident about their protest's impact and Khan's potential release from prison.
