The political crisis in Pakistan has been characterized by corruption, disputes, power conflicts, power struggles, allegations, and disputes and tension between different political parties. As we know, elections are approaching, and political parties are engaging in dirty games against each other. The public bears the load of politics and struggles with economic hardships.
The Pakistani Army unexpectedly labeled May 9 as a ‘Black Day,’ emphasizing that Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf’s ‘lust for strength or power’ achieved what its enemy (India) had failed to do in 75 years.
Among all the parties, the PTI enjoys popularity, big recognition and receives a substantial number of votes. Former Pakistani “Prime Minister Imran Khan” arrest on corruption charges triggered widespread protests across Pakistan on May 9. The Pakistan Rangers arrested PTI leader and former Prime Minister Imran Khan in Islamabad on May 9. Imran Khan became arrested in connection with a corruption case. Protests have been reported in Islamabad, Lahore, Mardan, Karachi, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Multan, Peshawar, Quetta, and Rawalpindi, with police clashing with protesters in multiple locations.
In Lahore, protesters stormed the Military Corps Commander’s house in the Cantonment area, vandalizing the property. Protesters have additionally stormed the army headquarters in Rawalpindi, while in Quetta, military personnel used live fireplaces to disperse protesters resulting in at least one fatality and numerous injuries.
In reaction to the protests, authorities have imposed Section 144 orders in Balochistan and Punjab provinces and in Islamabad. The orders limit unauthorized public gatherings of over four people and the carrying of arms – to save you from demonstrations.
In Lahore, protesters stormed the military Corps Commander’s house inside the Cantonment place, vandalizing the belongings. Protesters have additionally stormed the army headquarters in Rawalpindi, whilst, in Quetta, military personnel used the live fireplace to disperse protesters resulting in at least one fatality and numerous injuries.
Officials are expected to enforce precautionary security measures such as security cordons, roadblocks, and pedestrian checks, in addition to Section 144 orders. The possibility of clashes between the police and activists cannot be overlooked. It is probable that there will be localized disruptions in transportation and business activities near rally venues. If significant violence ensues, there is a chance of heightened restrictions, including localized internet service suspensions, extensions of Section 144 orders, or the implementation of curfews.
The protestors’ aggression and the shocking nature of their response were notable. However, on the other side, the police, who are meant to act as a protective shield for the public, resorted to using guns, employing shelling techniques, and displaying violent behavior towards the protestors. They even arrested children, women, and men. On May 9, numerous people were taken into custody by the police. Tragically, many protestors, including children, women, and men, sustained injuries, and some lost their lives. The question arises: who is responsible for this significant loss?
Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Asad Umar, Imran Ismail, Shahryar Afridi, Jamshed Cheema, Musarrat Cheema, Maleeka Bokhari, Ali Muhammad Khan, Omar Cheema, Ejaz Chaudhary, Yasmin Rashid, Mian Mehmood Rasheed, Akram Usman, Aliya Hamza, Saifullah Nyazee, Falak Naz and many more.
They continuously have been arrested and re-arrested multiple times even after obtaining bail from the courts. Who is responsible for this act and why were they re-arrested after the bails?
Meanwhile, Imran Khan appeared in court on charges relating to his arrest and was granted bail in the cases against him after the Supreme Court declared the manner in which he was arrested from the High Court as unacceptable. He returned To Lahore in a fairly positive manner, greeted by large crowds in the capital of Punjab, which sooner or later led to the realization of the protests. God knows what will happen next in Pakistan and will this political crisis ever ends or not.
