Imran Khan's PTI Launches Nationwide Protests, High Alert In Islamabad

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) politician and Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif said on Friday the party would hold peaceful protests across the country, and it will sit in opposition both at the centre and in the key province of Punjab.
Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has launched a nationwide protest against alleged ballot-rigging.
Videos shared on social media from the capital Islamabad show that
hundreds of protestors took to the streets on Saturday, raising
slogans against the newly formed government.
The Islamabad police, in a series of posts on social media, said that a Section 144 order was in force in Islamabad and special forces of the Counter Terrorism Department had been deployed on patrol to deal with any emergency.
"The police in the federal capital have
warned the public to avoid any 'illegal activity' as it reminded them that section 144 was in force in Islamabad. The measure prevents gatherings and is coinciding with PTI's protest call over what they say are rigged elections," Islamabad police said in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Meanwhile, videos of protest marches also emerged from different regions including
South Waziristan, Punjab and Faisalabad.
PTI's X account posted a video of what it said were
marchers who had responded to Imran Khan's call for a protest.
Meanwhile, the PTI has said that its leader, advocate
Salman Akram Raja, who contested the polls as an independent candidate backed by the party in
Lahore’s NA-128 constituency,
had been arrested in Lahore while protesting against election-rigging.
Currently,
Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) has declared it will
form a coalition government in the country along with Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari's Pakistan People's Party (PPP), along with four other parties: the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), the Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid-i-Azam) [PML(Q)], the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) and
the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP).
Meanwhile, the
PTI criticized the coalition, denouncing them as "
mandate thieves" as
Khan's party emerged with the largest number of seats — but it failed to touch majority mark.
