Prime officers from China, Russia, India, and different nations who’re a part of the regional organisation will attend the convention — in Islamabad’s Crimson Zone — and if a protest is occurring within the capital, it’s going to pose a safety menace.

“I cannot enable the repeat of 2014 […] the conspiracy that passed off. We won’t enable this, we won’t tolerate this in any respect. That is my promise to the nation,” the prime minister advised his cupboard members on Tuesday.

The PTI has mentioned that it’s protesting for the “independence of the judiciary” and the discharge of its founder Imran Khan. The celebration leaders have mentioned that they won’t step again until the previous prime minister asks them.

PM Shehbaz, whereas slamming the opposition celebration, mentioned that the PTI had executed nothing besides create chaos and divide the nation. He mentioned neither did the celebration convey again cash to the nation whereas it was in energy nor did it finish corruption — claims that had been a part of its election manifesto.
