ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani police Monday fired tear gas canisters at supporters of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan to stop them from entering the capital, where they hoped to stage a sit-in to demand his release, officials said.

The firing of tear gas came shortly after demonstrators — who traveled 150 kilometers (93 miles) from the restive northwest — began arriving and gathering near Islamabad. They defied a lockdown, previous tear gas and widespread arrests despite a ban on rallies in the city.

The development came a day after the leadership of Khan’s party went ahead with the “long march” even as Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko arrived for a three-day visit. He was received at an airport near the capital by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday evening.

Authorities said at least one police officer was killed and several officers and demonstrators were injured in clashes. The marchers appeared determined to enter Islamabad, where the lockdown, which has been in place for two days, has disrupted daily life.

The government was in talks with Khan's party to avoid any further violence, officials said.

Khan, who has been in jail for over a year and faces more than 150 criminal cases, remains popular. His party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, or PTI, says the cases are politically motivated.

A convoy of vehicles carrying protesters was expected to enter the capital Monday night. Security officials say they expect between 9,000 and 11,000 demonstrators, while the PTI says the number will be much higher.

Video on social media showed Khan supporters donning gas masks and protective goggles.

Travel between Islamabad and other cities has become nearly impossible. Ambulances and cars were seen turning back from areas along the key Grand Trunk Road highway in Punjab province, where shipping containers were used to block roads.

Video circulating online showed some protesters operating heavy machinery to remove the containers.

“We are determined, and we will reach Islamabad, though police are using tear gas to stop our march,” PTI senior leader Kamran Bangash told The Associated Press. “We will overcome all hurdles one by one, and our supporters are removing shipping containers from roads."

Bangash also said Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, who was recently released on bail in a graft case, will lead the march along with Ali Amin Gandapur, the chief minister in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where Khan’s party remains in power.

Earlier, almost 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Islamabad, Bibi, wearing a white head-to-toe burqa, addressed protesters while sitting in a truck, urging them to remain determined to achieve their goal and free Khan. She then chanted, “God is great” and left.

Khan’s main political opponent, Sharif, heads the current government.

Sharif’s spokesperson, Attaullah Tarar, said on Sunday that whenever any high-profile foreign delegation comes to Pakistan, the PTI “begins the politics of long marches and onslaught on Islamabad to harm the economy.”

Some economists say protests cause billions of rupees in damages to the country's fragile economy.

Protesters on Sunday night burned trees as police fired tear gas to disperse the crowds. Khan supporters retaliated by using slingshots and pelting security personnel with rocks.

In a bid to foil the protest, police have arrested more than 4,000 Khan supporters since Friday and suspended mobile and internet services “in areas with security concerns,” which the PTI said affected its call on social media for a protest. On Thursday, a court prohibited rallies in the capital and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said anyone violating the ban would be arrested.

Authorities say only courts can order the release of Khan, who was ousted in 2022 through a no-confidence vote in Parliament. He has been imprisoned since his first conviction in a graft case, in August 2023.

Khan has been sentenced in several cases. His convictions were later overturned on appeal but he cannot be freed due to other pending cases against him.

*The prisoner of Adiala Jail dreams of a bloody revolution": Azma Bokhari*

*KPK does not initiate even a single public project in last 8 months: Azma Bokhari*

*The money that should be spent on the welfare of KPK’s people is being wasted on rallies and protests: Azma Bokhari*

Lahore () Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has said that the prisoner of Adiala Jail is dreaming of a bloody revolution in Pakistan. He needs dead bodies to get out of jail. The founder of PTI has a longstanding tactic of using deaths as a political tool.

She said that where in Pakistan's Constitution is it written that a Chief Minister of one province should launch attacks on the Federation every month? Where does the constitution say that a Chief Minister can use official machinery and staff as his entourage?

If government affairs are impacted when a Chief Minister appears in court, then how is attacking the Federation serving the province? The funds that should be allocated for the welfare of the province’s people are instead being spent on rallies and protests, she added.

Azma Bokhari further said, that over the past 8 months, not a single welfare project has been initiated for the people of KPK. Maryam Nawaz has launched 84 new public welfare projects in Punjab over the same period. Gandapur should learn from Maryam Nawaz’s vision for managing government affairs. Although announcements are made to replicate Punjab's projects, their actual performance is zero.

“There is no such thing as a going again this time,” mentioned Gandapur in Imran’s final protest name on November 24.

Press Release

Lahore () Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has said that after a flop show in Kahna, PTI failed to invade Rawalpindi. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the situation is very alarming, with rampant kidnappings and the TTP setting properties ablaze. Educational institutions are being closed, and the province's debt has skyrocketed to 630 billion rupees. Bokhari urged Gandapur to stop playing the role of a "second-rate Maula Jatt" and instead focus on the welfare of the people in his province.

She further questioned the Balochistan government, asking how much longer the blood of innocent Punjabis would continue to be shed in the province.

Azma said that In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the number of universities is being reduced from 32 to 12 due to a shortage of funds. The number of non-functional schools has reached 543, and over 30,000 teaching positions remain vacant. These people are wasting their province's resources on rallies and protests. In contrast, Punjab is increasing its number of universities, building new IT universities, providing meals to children, and hiring thousands of teachers.

She expressed these thoughts during a press conference at DGPR. She said that the blood of Punjabis is not cheap. Whenever someone from another province comes to Punjab, we welcome and protect them with open arms. Sadly, terrorism has increased in Balochistan. Together, we will defeat the conspiracy to pit Punjabis and Balochis against each other.

She added that Gandapur wants to incite violence between Pakhtuns and Punjabis. Why don’t they protest in KPK? Protesting there would prevent the waste of public resources.

The people of Punjab have completely rejected them. Sheikh Waqas and Barrister Saif admitted that people in Punjab didn’t come out to support them. Barrister Saif doesn't leave his house, hiding in his bunker, but heeps issuing statements.

The information minister added that the people of Punjab are happy with their Chief Minister and do not want to be a part of any trouble-making schemes.

She also mentioned that Gandapur talked about firing bullets in Punjab. "I want to tell him that bullets are already being fired in KPK, where the Taliban roam freely. In the Gandapur area, D.I. Khan, the son of a DSP was kidnapped and killed, and TTP members are setting properties on fire, yet no one is held accountable." The Chief Minister of KPK has never called a meeting on law and order.

She pointed out that Aleema Khan told the judge that she wanted to participate in protests, and she was escorted there with full protocol. Their facilitators should realize that these people use human rights and democracy as a cover for terrorism. From the attack on Parliament to May 9, whenever they’ve had the opportunity, they’ve resorted to terrorism. They want to sabotage the upcoming SCO summit with their disruptive tactics.
