Thousands of members and supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party launched a long march toward the capital. Protestors are demanding the immediate release of the imprisoned former prime minister, alongside calls for judicial independence and constitutional rule. The march commenced after weekend talks between the government and PTI leaders broke down over unresolved political conditions. Pakistani authorities deployed heavy police and paramilitary forces while erecting shipping containers to barricade key routes into Islamabad’s government district. The standoff follows months of political volatility, with the government urging postponement due to security concerns while PTI pushes forward with its campaign.
