Imran Khan’s PTI Prepares to Protest Against State ‘Injustice’2025
Islamabad – June 1, 2025
In a significant political development, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced preparations for nationwide public protests in response to what it terms “continued political victimization and injustice.” The announcement comes amid mounting legal pressures and what leaders describe as a targeted campaign against their party and leadership.
PTI Leadership Claims Political Suppression
Top PTI leaders have stated that recent arrests, court cases, and restrictions on political activity reflect a deliberate effort to sideline the party. “We are being denied our democratic rights. These actions are not just against PTI—they are against the voice of the people,” said a senior PTI official during a press briefing in Islamabad.
The party has called on its supporters to mobilize peacefully in key cities, stressing that the protests will remain non-violent but resolute.
Context: Legal and Political Challenges
PTI’s protest call follows a series of high-profile legal actions against its founder and other key members. The party claims these measures are politically motivated, aimed at weakening its public influence and blocking its path to a fair electoral process.
Observers say this move could reignite political tensions that have simmered since last year’s general elections and the controversial legal proceedings that followed.
Government Response Expected
While there has been no official government response yet, sources suggest that law enforcement agencies are on high alert and security plans are being reviewed. Analysts warn that large-scale protests, if not managed carefully, could further destabilize an already fragile political environment.
What Comes Next
PTI is expected to announce detailed protest schedules and locations in the coming days. Meanwhile, political analysts remain divided on the potential outcomes—some view it as a democratic right being exercised, while others caution against escalating confrontation.
