A recent incident involving the PTI leaders and officials from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa retracting claims about Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur’s arrest has sparked a wave of controversy. While initial reports stated that Rangers personnel had forcefully entered KP House to arrest CM Gandapur, it has now been clarified that he has not been formally arrested but is currently detained inside KP House in Islamabad.
The situation remains tense as the PTI plans to continue its protest at D-Chowk despite heavy police presence and blockades in the capital. Mobile and internet services are suspended, and key developments such as the deployment of army troops in Punjab and the arrest of Afghan nationals during clashes have added to the chaos.
Despite the challenges, the PTI is determined to push forward with its protest, citing concerns about the state of lawlessness in Pakistan. The involvement of key institutions and security agencies in the ongoing events raises questions about the future of the political landscape in the country.
