Islamabad, Pakistan: Capital police on Friday arrested two sisters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan from D-Chowk who reached the protest venue despite Islamabad being sealed with cargo containers.
Aleema and Uzma Khan, sisters of Imran Khan, were detained by the police and were moved to the Secretariat police station.
PTI workers and the police were engaged in Rawalpindi as well as in Islamabad and police used tear gas and rubber bullets while PTI workers kept the police engaged by throwing burning wooden logs.
On the other hand, Federal Minister Musadaq Malik and Atta Tarrar held separate press conferences and said that the Prime Minister of Malaysia was visiting Pakistan to further strengthen economic ties but PTI did not respect guests and tried to make a scene in Islamabad. They were of the view that inflation in the country was at the lowest level, IT revenues had increased significantly, foreign reserves had stabilized, IMF’s seven billion dollar program had been launched, friendly countries were visiting Pakistan for investment and Pakistan was going to host the SCO Summit on October 15-16 and then Saudi and Chinese delegations will also visit Pakistan soon.
On the other hand, they said that the same day when this good news was coming to Pakistan and the situation was getting better with each passing day, the chief minister of KP announced attacking the capital of Pakistan just to fulfill the desires of his leader. They were of the view that CM Gandapur was leading marches in Lahore, Islamabad, and in Rawalpindi but he was doing nothing for his province that has facing historic foreign debt. They stated that PTI always tried to discourage foreign investment and, most dangerously, now trying to disrupt the SCO summit on October 15-16.
