epa11595112 Police arrest Barrister Gohar, the chairman of the opposition party Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) from outside the parliament in Islamabad, Pakistan, 09 September 2024. Islamabad police arrested PTI leaders Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Sher Afzal Khan Marwat, and Advocate Shoaib Shaheen outside parliament, prompting the party to condemn the actions as a "direct attack on democracy." PTI criticized the PML-N government for the arrests, calling them "illegal orders" and stating, "This is a moment of shame for the entire parliament." Opposition leader Omar Ayub Khan added that police had targeted other PTI members as well, asserting, "Our only crime is that we have dared to challenge the status quo." In a televised address, PML-N Senator Talal Chaudhry vowed legal action against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur for inciting violence during a rally, claiming that "not only will those who attacked... be arrested, but also their mastermind." The situation escalated during a PTI rally that clashed with police, leading to several arrests amid rising tensions. EPA/SOHAIL SHAHZAD
