Pakistan Warns PTI Against Islamabad Protest Amid Rising Political Tensions
Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi warned the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) against holding a planned protest march in Islamabad on September 27 to demand the release of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Authorities stated the protest would not be allowed to disrupt the capital, citing security concerns and an Islamabad High Court order to maintain peace. Meanwhile, political tensions escalated with reports of arrests and alleged kidnappings of PTI leaders in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ahead of the demonstration, which PTI insists will proceed.
