KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) workers and supporters on Sunday took to the streets in various cities across the country to protest against rising inflation on the call of party chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan.
In Peshawar, the protest was staged in front of the main Hashtnagri Gate as party workers chanted slogans against the government.
In Karachi, the protest was staged at Shahrah-e-Quaideen. A large number of police officials were deployed on the road leading from Sharea Faisal to Shahrah-e-Quaideen in light of the protest.
Former governor Sindh Imran Ismail and other members of the PTI’s local leadership led the protest.
Demonstrations against rising inflation in the country, after ousting of the Imran Khan’s government, were also held in other parts and cities, and towns of the country.
Imran had on Thursday urged the public to stage “peaceful demonstrations” tonight at 9 pm against rising inflation, which he said has been the doing of a government “incapable of handling the economy”.
In a recorded video message, Imran had warned that inflation would soar even higher in days to come if the nation “kept sitting idly”.
“I am inviting the entire nation for a peaceful protest against inflation. I invite trade unions, professionals, doctors, engineers, clerks, and government workers to take to the streets,” appealed the ex-PM
