According to Dawn, even though party leaders PTI have vowed to reach the venue “despite all obstacles”, it will not be an easy task. The Rawalpindi Police, Rangers and Punjab Police have planned to “lay a virtual siege” to the garrison town to arrest PTI workers, a senior police official confirmed.

The PTI will continue its struggle until the law and the Constitution are respected, he added. Meanwhile, traders at nearby Raja Bazaar and Murree Road expressed displeasure over the planned activity, anticipating disruption to their businesses due to the protest, as reported by Dawn. “The government should allocate separate space for protests as it disrupts business activities and movement of people on roads,” said Traders Association President Shahid Ghafoor Paracha. He added that traders were already suffering financial problems due to the high cost of electricity and gas. He complained that too many protests had taken place in the garrison town.
