A large number of people reached Islamabad to protest against PTI

Islamabad: In response to protest summons made by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the party of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan, a sizable contingent of Pakistanis are marching towards the country’s capital. “Thousands and thousands of Pakistanis are peacefully marching in Islamabad,” PTI said in a post on X. Three agendas are among the requests of the folks who are gathering, according to PTI.

These include “restoring the Constitution, rescinding the 26th Amendment, returning the stolen mandate, and releasing political prisoners.”

According to Dawn, the convoys took a break the night before the demonstration, which was initially planned for November 24. As workers and supporters from all across the nation tried to resist arrests, baton charges, and tear gas in order to join the agitation, PTI officials said that they were in “no hurry” to get to the federal capital for their “do or die” demonstration.

According to Dawn, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) declared last week that the PTI’s planned demonstration was illegal and ordered the federal government to take all necessary steps to keep Islamabad law and orderly without interfering with public life.

The implementation of Section 144 across the province was prolonged by the Pakistan Punjab government for an additional three days, till Thursday. Dawn pointed out that because of the “law and order situation” in the province, the provincial administration had first enforced Section 144 from Saturday to Monday (today). The government of Islamabad reportedly announced on Tuesday that all public and private educational institutions would stay closed.

Some PTI senior figures have already arrived in Pakistan ahead of the demonstrations, while others are their route.

Aleema Khan, Uzma Khan, and Imran Khan’s sisters are among them.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) posted the information on X.

“Hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis are gathering in Islamabad to demand the release of political prisoners, the restoration of stolen mandates, the upholding of the law and constitution, and an end to the fascist reign of terror by the illegitimate, authoritarian, military-backed regime,” Imran Khan’s sisters, Aleema Khan and Uzma Khan, posted on X.

Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan, has been in custody for more than 470 days, according to PTI.

Following ‘Final Call’ demonstrations, Imran Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, called for her husband’s release Monday as convoys from his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party advanced on the capital, Islamabad, according to Dawn.

Imran Khan created the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which has begun a statewide demonstration calling for its leader’s release.

Bushra Bibi assured the supporters that the march would continue until Khan was released, according to Dawn.
