Following this, JUI-F claims an undeclared ban has been imposed on its leaders' television appearances and political activities, describing these restrictions as an assault on democratic norms. The party questions whether a civilian martial law is in effect, citing limitations on opposition speeches in Parliament and public gatherings. JUI-F spokesperson Aslam Ghauri emphasized their commitment to constitutional dialogue despite these challenges.
