Police and PTI Supporters Face Off in Clashes Near Islamabad

Violence erupted near Islamabad as police clashed with supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan during a protest. The confrontation took place just outside the capital, where large groups of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activists gathered to demand justice and highlight grievances against the current government.

The protest, initially peaceful, escalated when police attempted to block the demonstrators’ march toward sensitive areas. Tear gas and baton charges were used to disperse the crowd, resulting in injuries on both sides. Protesters retaliated by throwing stones and blocking roads.

Authorities claim the demonstrators violated security protocols by moving into restricted zones. However, PTI leaders accused the police of unprovoked aggression, further inflaming tensions between the government and opposition.

The incident underscores the growing political instability in the country, with supporters of Imran Khan increasingly taking to the streets in defiance of the current administration. Local and international observers have called for dialogue to address the ongoing crisis.

Security in and around Islamabad has been heightened following the clashes, as concerns mount over the potential for further unrest.
