geo.tv

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers expressed frustration by breaking the windows of vehicles belonging to Bushra Bibi and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. This occurred after both leaders left a protest unexpectedly, which had been intended to demand the release of PTI founder Imran Khan. Videos showed workers throwing stones and striking the vehicles, feeling abandoned after a government crackdown led to nearly 1,000 arrests. PTI Secretary-General Salman Akram Raja claimed at least 20 people died during the protests, while police reported 600 arrests in a recent operation. The situation has intensified political tensions, with the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz planning to propose a ban on PTI in Balochistan. Internal challenges within PTI are also evident, as leaders call for investigations into the protest's management amid growing discontent among supporters.
