The former ruling party has faced several setbacks recently, including the sealing of its central secretariat in the federal capital earlier in the day, following the arrest of the party’s Information Secretary, Raoof Hasan, and other party workers. Hasan was taken into custody by Islamabad police from the PTI Central Secretariat due to his involvement in managing a digital media cell allegedly engaged in anti-Pakistan propaganda.
Speaking to journalists outside parliament, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan stated that the hunger strike would be observed daily until 8 PM as a symbolic protest against what they see as “injustice” and to demand the release of Imran Khan, advocating for the supremacy of parliament. He also mentioned that he conveyed the party’s concerns about “illegal and unconstitutional actions” to National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq.
