PTI calls off Islamabad protest for the time being

After fleeing from the site of the PTI's high-stakes Islamabad protest, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur on Wednesday resurfaced in Mansehra, where he assured his party workers that the "sit-in is still ongoing" while the police said that nearly 1,000 protesters were arrested.

After a day of clashes between security forces and protesters in the city's Red Zone ended in the party leadership's hasty retreat, the PTI announced in the early hours of Wednesday that it was calling off its planned protest sit-in "for the time being".

As PTI supporters inched towards the heavily barricaded D-Chowk late on Tuesday, the police and security forces employed intense teargas shelling to disperse the protesters.
