After Pakistani authorities halted a planned protest by the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf ( PTI ) party, the country’s lives were at a standstill in Islamabad and Rawalpindi on Friday. The country’s mobile phone and internet services were suspended and all entry and exit points were sealed with shipping containers.
After incarcerated PTI main Imran Khan refused to remove his phone for the protest, the government of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s government also deployed Rangers, a military force, and more authorities.
In the mini places, Pakistan’s CrPC Section 144, which allows the city administration to halt a meeting of more than four people, has been implemented. Lots of PTI employees, including Imran’s daughters Aleema Khan, Naureen Khan and Uzma Khan, have been arrested amid severe tear gas firing by authorities in Islamabad.
Khan, however, called on his supporters again to achieve Islamabad’s covered D-Chowk, in front of congress and the PM’s company, for a peaceful protest against a proposed constitutional amendment aimed at curtailing the court’s freedom. The proposed constitutional amendment appears to expand Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa’s name. PTI reported that PM Sharif’s leadership was concerned that Justice Mansoor Ali Shah’s replacement, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, might launch Khan, who has been imprisoned since August last year, and accelerate up the investigation into the Feb. 2024 elections that despite allegations of widespread voter fraud.
Imran Khan stated in a message posted on X that” I want you all to arrive in D-Chowk Islamabad today ( Friday October4 ) for a peaceful protest.
You should not be afraid of making any sacrifices for your liberty, and you should never rebel against them. Democracy and the rule of legislation have absolutely vanished in our nation, and you have to struggle hard for it,” the post said. ” This war is in its decisive step, by the kindness of Allah we are winning the battle for our true freedom”, it added. Khan even urged those residing in Lahore to get ready for Saturday’s organized protest at Minar-i-Pakistan.
Despite being warned by internal minister Mohsin Naqvi not to hold a rally in the capital city according to some high-profile visits by foreign nobles, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM Ali Amin Gandapur and another PTI legislators leading caravan of people, they have vowed to travel to Islamabad’s D-Chowk. ” We have state guests here and also other delegations. Then there are teams of other head of state who are coming here. We must pay the least amount of money to ensure their security, Naqvi said. The PTI leaders, however, warned they would retaliate if stopped from entering Islamabad.
