PTI prepares for protest in Islamabad despite heavy security and court ruling
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party is preparing for a major protest in Islamabad today, despite heavy security measures and a court ruling declaring the event unlawful. Mobile internet services are suspended, and major roads are blocked to prevent gatherings. PTI leader Imran Khan called for nationwide protests against what he claims is a stolen election mandate and unjust arrests. Rallies from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are heading to Islamabad, while authorities have heightened security due to potential terrorist threats. The government has deployed significant security forces and closed key motorways to restrict movement. Local authorities have also blocked bridges to limit access to the capital, causing traffic disruptions for commuters.
