In pictures: PTI supporters push towards Islamabad’s D-Chowk
- Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters reached D-Chowk amid reports of intense tear gas shelling to stop their planned sit-in
In what Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former premier Imran Khan called a “final call”, party supporters reached D-Chowk in Islamabad on Tuesday after they initiated a large-scale march towards the capital city on November 24, vowing not to return until the release of Khan.
In a bid to foil the PTI’s planned march, the government imposed Section 144 in several districts, banned public gatherings, deployed heavy contingent of police, and sealed the capital city with containers.
However, thousands of PTI supporters flocked to D-Chowk amid reports of intense tear gas shelling, the place they had promised to stage sit-in for the release of Imran Khan as well as against alleged tampering in the February polls.
