Islamabad Sees Chaos as PTI Leaders Stopped from Reaching Adiala Jail

ISLAMABAD: (Web Desk) – Tension escalated in the federal capital near 26 Number Chungi after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders and workers were stopped from heading towards Adiala Jail to meet party founder Imran Khan.

Islamabad Police placed containers on both sides of the road, blocking the main route leading from Islamabad to the airport and causing massive traffic congestion. Long queues of vehicles were reported, while citizens faced severe difficulties in the intense heat. An ambulance was also reportedly stuck in the traffic jam.

The situation turned volatile as clashes broke out between PTI workers and police personnel. Reports claimed that a scuffle took place involving Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, while police allegedly used rubber bullets during the confrontation. Several PTI workers were injured, with some reportedly bleeding during the chaos.

Meanwhile, reports also emerged that Aleema Khan had rejected an alleged government offer. According to sources, Barrister Gohar had conveyed a message, but Imran Khan’s sisters were not satisfied with the proposal.

Speaking to the media at 26 Number Chungi, Chief Minister Sohail Afridi said the PTI leadership had come peacefully to meet the party founder and that workers had shown restraint throughout the situation.

“It is discriminatory to stop an elected chief executive and an entire provincial cabinet on the road,” he said.

Afridi further stated that meetings between Imran Khan and his family members, lawyers, and personal doctors were a basic human right. He also expressed concern over Khan’s eye condition and demanded that he be allowed treatment at a hospital of his choice.

“If arrests are to be made, arrest us, not the workers,” Afridi added. “We are not making any illegal or unconstitutional demands; we are only asking for basic human rights.”

No official response had been issued by the government or police authorities at the time of filing this report.
