PTI convoys, led by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur and Opposition Leader Omar Ayub, have entered Islamabad in response to Imran Khan’s call.
The convoys, which started at the Hazara Interchange, are headed towards D-Chowk in Islamabad.
Despite encountering heavy police resistance at the Ghazi Brotha Bridge, Omar Ayub’s convoy successfully pushed back Punjab Police forces at the Hazara Interchange. Ali Amin Gandapur played a crucial role in helping the convoy break through police barricades.
After overcoming the police blockade, the convoys continued their journey, with vehicles stretching over two kilometers.
On the Hazara Motorway, PTI supporters forced police to retreat, with reports of violent clashes and heavy stone-pelting. Several police personnel were injured, and two officers were severely wounded and hospitalized.
A media report suggested that several PTI leaders, including PTI’s chief whip in the National Assembly Amir Dogar and Zain Qureshi were arrested from Multan. Reports attributed to the Punjab police spokesperson said that around 600 people had been arrested for violating Section 144 in Punjab.

Barrister Gohar Khan and Saif held a 90-minute meeting with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi.
