“Imran Khan Criticizes VPN Ban, Urges Public to Join November 24 Protest”

Former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, Imran Khan, has strongly criticized the government’s reported move to ban Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) in the country. Calling it a violation of basic freedoms, Khan accused the authorities of curbing digital rights and stifling dissent under the guise of security concerns.

In a statement, Imran highlighted the importance of VPNs for professionals, businesses, and citizens who rely on them for secure communication and accessing restricted platforms. He warned that banning VPNs would harm Pakistan’s digital economy and further isolate the country in an increasingly interconnected world.

Khan also took the opportunity to call on the public to join the PTI’s massive protest scheduled for November 24. He urged citizens to stand against what he termed “undemocratic measures” by the current regime, including restrictions on free speech and privacy.

The PTI leader’s remarks come amid growing criticism of the government’s policies on internet censorship and surveillance, with rights groups raising alarms about the shrinking space for dissent and freedom of expression in the country. The November 24 protest is expected to draw large crowds, with PTI aiming to send a strong message to the government about its governance and policy decisions.

Court Issues Arrest Warrants for Bushra Bibi in Toshakhana Case

In a significant development, a court has issued arrest warrants for Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, in connection with the ongoing Toshakhana case. The court took this step after Bushra Bibi repeatedly failed to appear for scheduled hearings, despite multiple summonses.

The Toshakhana case involves allegations that the former first lady unlawfully retained valuable gifts from foreign dignitaries without declaring them, a violation of government protocols. The court had earlier instructed Bushra Bibi to present herself for questioning, but her continued absence led to the issuance of arrest warrants.

Legal experts suggest that this action could further escalate the legal challenges facing the former ruling family. The arrest warrants have been issued in the context of mounting pressure on Imran Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), as multiple members face legal scrutiny over corruption and other charges. The case remains a focal point in the political landscape, with critics accusing the government of political vendettas.

Rana Sanaullah Claims PTI Will Not Be Able to Organize Another Protest in Capital

Rana Sanaullah, the Interior Minister of Pakistan, has stated that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will not be able to organize another protest in Islamabad. He emphasized that the government is fully prepared to prevent any such attempts, citing strict measures to maintain order and ensure that public safety is not compromised.

The statement comes in the wake of recent political unrest and protests staged by PTI, which have significantly disrupted the capital. Sanaullah assured that the government would take all necessary steps to ensure peace, signaling a firm stance against any future protests by PTI in Islamabad.

PTI leaders, on the other hand, have rejected these claims, accusing the government of attempting to stifle democratic rights and suppressing peaceful protests. The situation has raised tensions in the political landscape, with both sides gearing up for a potentially contentious showdown.
