As PTI got ready for a march in the southern Punjab province, the Punjab government on Tuesday implemented Section 144(6) in Faisalabad, Bahawalpur, and Mianwali, therefore preventing all kind of public gathering.
PTI has organized several protests around the nation to “save the constitution,” denounce the “illegal” arrest of the party chairman, and express disapproval of ECP’s tardiness in implementing the Supreme Court’s ruling regarding reserved seats.
Every occasion, confrontations between PTI members and the authorities have resulted from the government issuing a set of stringent regulations before to the demonstrations.
Imran Khan, who is currently incarcerated, issued a new demand yesterday for nationwide demonstrations in support of the “independence of [the] judiciary,” which included a march in Islamabad, where such events are prohibited.
The PTI founder has announced that tomorrow the party will stage protests in Bahawalpur, Faisalabad, and Mianwali.
A further announcement was made regarding “large protests in Multan, Mianwali, and Faisalabad on October 2” by PTI Central Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram.
“You have an obligation to come out,” Waqas stated.

Meanwhile, after brief speeches by leaders to supporters in Kahna in the provincial capital’s Ring Road district on September 21, the party’s Lahore power show came to an anticlimactic close as lights went out and police officers vacated the stage after the 6 p.m. limit.
Containers had been positioned along every path leading to the PTI’s proposed protest venue in Liaquat Bagh, leaving Rawalpindi “under virtual siege” on Saturday.
Over 110 supporters, including party leaders, were taken into custody by Punjab police following altercations during which the stench of tear gas used to scatter the demonstrators filled the air.
All public meetings were forbidden by the government, which also stationed paramilitary personnel in Rawalpindi.
