In response to a call from party leader Imran Khan, PTI demonstrators took to the streets on Saturday in Rawalpindi, setting up fierce altercations with police that transformed the city into a battlefield.

After a chaotic and turbulent day, the PTI scheduled other protest dates, ending its Rawalpindi demonstrations in the wake of the run-ins with the authorities.

The chief minister said that they have been "wronged, their privacy violated" in a late-night video message that was made public in the wake of the protests in Rawalpindi, but they have refrained from speaking out for the good of the nation.

He added that they were attacked with batons, fired upon, and had shells thrown at them during the protests.

Gandapur further claimed that the Punjab police were still firing shells and bullets every three km. Over 50 sustained injuries by shells, and three of their employees were struck by bullets, he added. (ANI)
