Pakistani police arrested Gohar Ali Khan, acting chairman of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, officials confirmed Monday. The move deepens the political crisis surrounding PTI, which has faced crackdowns since Khan's 2023 arrest and subsequent corruption conviction.
Analysts say the arrest signals escalating tensions ahead of February's general elections. PTI supporters claim the government is silencing opposition voices, while authorities allege Khan's party incited violence during protests last year.
Social media erupted with #PTIUnderFire trends as netizens debated whether this marks a 'new low for democracy' or necessary accountability. The party's official handle vowed: 'We won't bow to pressure tactics!'
International observers are watching closely, with human rights groups urging restraint. Meanwhile, young voters in Pakistan's tech-savvy demographic (60% under 30) question what this means for their political future.
