Islamabad police have arrested several PTI leaders, including Gohar Ali Khan, Sher Afzal Marwat, and Shoaib Shaheen, right outside the parliament. The move sparked immediate outrage across Pakistan, with PTI calling it a direct attack on democracy. PTI leaders claim the government is trying to silence opposition voices. “This is a serious assault on democratic rights,” stated a PTI spokesperson.
The arrests of PTI leaders have provoked intense political tension. PML-N quickly responded, threatening legal action against PTI members. They argue that the arrests were necessary to maintain order after violent clashes erupted at a recent rally. According to PML-N, PTI leaders instigated violence and chaos, undermining public safety.
The public remains divided over the arrests of PTI leaders. Many view the government’s actions as justified, while others see it as a political crackdown. As Islamabad braces for further turmoil, political analysts warn that the situation may escalate. The conflict has left both parties entrenched, with no signs of resolution.
In response to the arrests, PTI supporters have taken to the streets, staging protests outside the parliament. They demand the immediate release of their leaders, accusing the government of undemocratic behavior. Meanwhile, law enforcement has increased security in the capital to prevent further unrest.
