The Story in Brief
Pakistan has arrested more than 100 supporters of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan during nationwide protests by his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, NDTV Profit reports. The arrests come as PTI supporters demonstrate across the country in support of Khan.
Khan’s sons also said they had not spoken to their father for seven months. They raised concerns about his health and alleged that authorities had restricted family access to him. The report does not provide further details on the arrests, the protests or Khan’s current condition.
The Indian Opinion
Claims around Pakistan’s political crisis often become louder than the available facts. The arrests point to a forceful state response, but the source does not establish how many detainees face charges or whether all were involved in violence. The sons’ account deserves scrutiny, not dismissal, especially after seven months without contact. The immediate test is clear: authorities should publish the arrest figures, charges and access arrangements.
