PTI suspends Islamabad protest after clashes with security forces

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has suspended its protest in Islamabad after clashes with security forces. The decision follows a day of violence, with police using tear gas to disperse protesters, resulting in at least two deaths and over 60 injuries. PTI leaders, including Bushra Bibi, retreated from the protest site and announced the suspension due to what they described as government brutality. They plan to discuss future actions based on guidance from their imprisoned leader, Imran Khan. The protests, which began on November 24, faced heavy police resistance, leading to numerous arrests. The Islamabad High Court had deemed the protest unlawful, prompting the government to take measures to maintain order.
