The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced protest in Islamabad on October 15 as the country is gearing for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit.
According to details, Pakistan is poised to host the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit on October 14 and 15, drawing significant international attention with the arrival of key figures from member states.
However, plans for protests by the PTI on October 15 in Islamabad's D-Chowk have raised alarm over potential disruptions during this critical event.
The PTI's announcement to stage protests is seen as highly condemnable, especially as this marks one of the first major international gatherings in Pakistan in years.
The summit will feature leaders and prime ministers from over a dozen countries, along with approximately 900 delegations and nearly 200 members of international media, including journalists from India.
Given the sensitive nature of the occasion, the planned protests are viewed as not only unacceptable but also deeply troubling. Critics argue that the PTI's actions suggest either external influence or a blatant disregard for national interests.
