Later, the cop — reportedly subjected to violence after being "kidnapped" — departed this vale of tears. The law and order situation in Islamabad remained volatile as PTI tried to stage a protest at D-Chowk, despite the imposition of Section 144 (which bars political activities and gatherings) in the twin cities to ensure security ahead of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation's meeting. The opposition party initiated a series of protests for the independence of the judiciary and the release of its founder, Imran Khan, who has been incarcerated at Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail for more than a year. Clashes also broke out between law enforcers and party workers, with both sides blaming each other for starting the violence. Posted by: Fred 2024-10-07 |
