PTI protest in Islamabad
It is pertinent to mention that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has called for a march on Islamabad on November 24.
Last week, speaking to journalists after meeting Imran in Adiala Jail, his sister Aleema Khan said that the final call for protest was for everyone, including PTI ticket holders, members of parliament, and workers and supporters of the party.
“This is the moment when you will have to decide [whether] you want to live under martial law or live with freedom,” she quoted Imran as saying.
“You used your right [to vote] on February 8…. but the next day, the foundation you had laid for democracy was stolen,” she further quoted Imran as saying.
Since his arrest in August 2023 on several counts, Imran’s party has been holding protests across the country for his release, and against the alleged “rigging” of the 2024 elections on February 8.
Last month, police arrested several PTI leaders and activists across multiple districts of Punjab for holding protests. In September, the party’s top leadership, along with 11 MNAs, were apprehended but released later.
