Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi declared on Sunday his commitment to ensuring the safety and security of Islamabad, as a significant number of supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan began their journey to the capital to participate in a planned protest. This mobilization occurred against a backdrop of extensive security measures, including a substantial presence of law enforcement personnel and the imposition of restrictions on mobile and internet services. The 72-year-old Khan, currently incarcerated, issued what he referred to as a “final call” on November 13, urging citizens to engage in nationwide demonstrations scheduled for November 24. He criticized the current government, labeling it as a product of a “stolen mandate,” and condemned the arbitrary arrests of individuals, as well as the enactment of the 26th amendment, which he argued has bolstered an oppressive regime. His political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has rallied the public to participate in the march, framing it as a movement to “break the shackles of slavery.”
Supporters of Khan continue their march, demonstrating unwavering commitment.
