Overview
- Punjab’s legislature adopted a resolution moved by PML‑N lawmaker Tahir Pervaiz urging a ban on Imran Khan and PTI, branding them “anti-state” and calling for legal punishment of those undermining institutions.
- Authorities locked down the Adiala Jail area under Section 144 with more than 1,200 police deployed, closures along access roads, and specialized units on standby.
- After family and legal visits were refused on a scheduled meeting day, Khan’s sisters led a sit-in near the jail that was later dispersed by police, with detentions reported.
- PTI agreed to a government-proposed committee to review Khan’s prison conditions, even as party leaders decried curtailed access as unlawful and pressed for court-ordered meetings.
- Senior officials signaled that treason charges and other steps, including possible governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, remain under consideration, while PTI condemned the military spokesperson’s remarks as overreach and vowed legal and parliamentary resistance.
