More than 30 supporters of Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, including lawyers, were arrested on Saturday evening after they managed to reach the historic premises of Minar-e-Pakistan on Saturday evening to demand the release of their leader, police announced on Sunday.

The situation in Islamabad and neighboring Rawalpindi, which witnessed Saturday's violent clashes, remains tense. However, no violence was reported in the twin cities on Sunday, indicating that the situation is gradually improving.

Lahore police said they had also arrested more than 200 PTI leaders and workers, including Khan, on terrorism charges, a day after violent clashes between security forces and his supporters left a policeman dead and several others injured.

A curfew-like situation has been observed around the venue, Minar-e-Pakistan, which is closed indefinitely for any entry from the general public. However, several PTI workers and lawyers managed to reach the protest venue late Saturday night and chanted slogans in support of their incarcerated leader. The police arrested the demonstrators.

Police arrested over 30 PTI workers and filed a case against over 200 PTI workers and leaders, including Imran Khan, on terrorism and other charges, a Punjab police spokesperson said.

Khan had issued a Do or Die order, directing PTI supporters to stage protests in their cities.

Meanwhile, Imran Khan's party has vowed to continue its protests against the government.

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf: The party, in an evening meeting, decided that the protest would continue until the release of Khan, who has been imprisoned since August last year.

Meanwhile, the whereabouts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, who is also the leader of the protest, are unknown.

The party and his family members were unable to make any contact with him as of Saturday evening, government spokesman Muhammad Ali Saif said.

Saif first claimed on Saturday that Gandapur had been arrested, but later, in an article on X, said that the KP CM had not been officially arrested.

The PTI political committee decided that if Gandapur was shut down, senior party leader Azam Swati would lead the protest. If Swati is arrested, a new leader will be chosen to take command, according to the Dawn newspaper.

The political committee also criticized the demise of Gandapur. The committee warned there would be serious repercussions if he was arrested.

Former National Assembly Speaker and senior PTI leader Asad Qaiser told Dawn newspaper that the PTI political committee had decided to continue the protest if Khan got a clear directive to end it.

It was also decided that Azam Swati would lead the protest if Gandapur was arrested. However, he warned, the arrest of a sitting chief minister would be disastrous for the country and would lead to serious repercussions.
