In a bid to defuse growing tensions, a senior government official reached out to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership on Monday, urging the party to reconsider its planned nationwide protest scheduled for November 24. The call for the protest, which has sparked concerns about public safety and potential disruptions, is part of PTI’s ongoing campaign against the government’s policies.
The senior government member, speaking on the condition of anonymity, emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and order during the upcoming days and suggested negotiations to address PTI’s grievances. The move comes as authorities gear up to secure sensitive locations across the country, in anticipation of the planned demonstration, which PTI insists is essential to pressure the government into addressing key political demands.
Sources close to PTI confirmed that the offer is under consideration, but no formal decision has been made yet. The party’s leadership has vowed to go ahead with the protest unless significant steps are taken by the government to address their concerns.
As the November 24 date approaches, both sides continue to engage in discussions, with hopes that a resolution can be found before the protest takes place. The political landscape remains highly charged, with citizens and businesses alike keeping a close watch on any developments.
