A recent crackdown by law enforcement agencies in Islamabad has resulted in the arrest of PTI leaders, including MNAs and key party members. Initially, the party claimed a dozen members were arrested, but later revised the number to six. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, who was reportedly unreachable for hours, has since returned to Peshawar.
The arrests, which came after PTI’s Sangjani power show, targeted prominent leaders such as Gohar Ali Khan, Sher Afzal Marwat, and Zubair Khan. The party alleged that the police carried out the arrests without following proper procedures, sparking outrage among PTI officials and supporters.
Multiple PTI lawmakers were detained, with some later released. The arrests led to widespread condemnation, with Opposition Leader Omar Ayub calling them “despicable.” The situation is evolving rapidly, with developments expected in the coming days.
The crackdown also resulted in PTI members being booked in terrorism cases over clashes at the Sangjani rally. The political landscape in Islamabad remains tense, with uncertainties looming over the future course of action.
