On March 23, 2025, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) organized a rally in Karachi to commemorate Pakistan Day and demand the release of their founder, Imran Khan. The event, led by PTI Sindh President Haleem Adil Sheikh and other party leaders, started from Empress Market with the aim of reaching Mazar-i-Quaid, the mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
However, the rally encountered heavy police barricades, particularly at Peoples Chowrangi, where law enforcement authorities blocked the procession from advancing further. PTI leaders strongly criticized the police’s actions, stating that their right to peaceful assembly and national celebrations was being unfairly restricted. Despite the roadblocks, participants remained peaceful, and the rally concluded without any violent confrontations.
The event reflects PTI’s ongoing political mobilization, as supporters continue to demand Imran Khan’s release and highlight political grievances. The Karachi rally underscores the party’s resilience and the broader political tensions shaping Pakistan’s political landscape.
