Gohar urges govt to listen before Sept 27 showdown
Rangers deployed in Islamabad, Punjab districts
Pakistani opposition leader Gohar Ali Khan has urged the government to listen before a significant political event on September 27. The Centre swiftly deployed Pakistan Rangers in Punjab districts and the federal capital to aid police in maintaining law and order, following a request from the Punjab government. Khan, the PTI Chairman, called for dialogue, warning against confrontation between political workers and law-enforcement personnel.
He stressed that grievances should be heard and resolved, not dealt with through force such as net launchers. Khan accused the government of creating an ego-driven battle and demanded they abandon the use of net launchers. He also rejected claims that PTI's march was a threat to state institutions. Khan reiterated that his party was peaceful and would not attack any institutions or Islamabad.
If the government continues to portray PTI's march negatively, it risks pushing the party out of the political arena, Khan warned.
