Bushra Bibi, the wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, led a group of PTI supporters from Chungi No. 26 towards Islamabad’s Red Zone, determined to reach D-Chowk. She voiced strong opposition to efforts by certain forces attempting to divert the protesters to other locations, stressing that PTI’s leadership had made it clear that their ultimate goal was D-Chowk. According to Bushra Bibi, any negotiation that fell short of this demand was non-negotiable.
Addressing the crowd of supporters, Bushra Bibi condemned efforts to redirect their march, asserting, “The founder of PTI has made it clear that we must reach D-Chowk no matter what.” She emphasized the unwavering resolve of the PTI workers, who were adamant that they would not settle for any alternative to D-Chowk, highlighting the importance of their protest in the context of the ongoing political crisis.
Meanwhile, the silence of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Chief Minister, Ali Amin Gandapur, on the ongoing negotiations has raised eyebrows. His lack of public comment has only added to the uncertainty surrounding both the government’s strategy and PTI’s next move in this highly charged political standoff.
The situation in Islamabad escalated further after the tragic death of four Rangers personnel during a violent late-night clash with miscreants. In the aftermath, the Ministry of Interior ordered the deployment of military forces to maintain order in the capital. Authorities have reportedly issued a “shoot-on-sight” directive for anyone found instigating unrest, signaling a major escalation in the government’s response.
With tensions mounting, Islamabad remains on high alert, as all eyes turn to whether Bushra Bibi and her supporters will manage to reach their destination at D-Chowk or if the government will take stronger measures to prevent them. This standoff, set against the backdrop of an already politically charged atmosphere, continues to draw national attention, adding yet another chapter to Pakistan’s ongoing political crisis.
