Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has issued a sharp warning to opposition party PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf) against proceeding with its planned September 27 long march on Islamabad, urging the party to "not enter a dead-end street" and cautioning that the government would leave "no loopholes" in its response. The march is intended to demand the release of PTI's jailed founder Imran Khan, but authorities have already deployed over 2,000 shipping containers at key entry points into the capital and are mobilising tens of thousands of security personnel, with Islamabad police seeking roughly Rs827 million to cover protest-related costs. With the Islamabad High Court having ruled that no party has the right to occupy public roads or highways in the capital, Naqvi warned that a "once-and-for-all" solution would be pursued this time, while stopping short of ruling out options such as imposing governor's rule in PTI-led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province or banning the party outright.
