Pakistan's PTI Begins Long March to Islamabad After Failed Government Talks
Pakistan's political tensions escalated as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, led by former Prime Minister Imran Khan, began a multi-day long march from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Islamabad on October 4.

PTI's Chief Minister Sohail Afridi leads the march, emphasizing peaceful protest and adherence to Khan's policies, while the government has warned against allowing protesters into the capital.
