Pakistani PM urges Imran Khan’s supporters to end protest march
Supporters of the jailed former prime minister began the march on Sunday, demanding his release after de-escalation talks stalled.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called on Imran Khan's supporters to halt their protest march heading towards Islamabad and resume negotiations with the government, according to reports. The demonstration, organized by Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, began on Sunday and aimed to demand the former prime minister's release, who is currently incarcerated and facing multiple charges.
Sharif appealed for the PTI leadership to reconsider their actions, stating that the march would negatively impact the economy and endanger lives and property. He emphasized that the government would not relent and would take necessary measures to protect citizens.
