Armed Protest Warning Islamabad: Gandapur Issues Threat to Government

Gandapur Warns of Armed Entry into Islamabad

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has sparked national debate with an armed protest warning Islamabad. During a press conference, he declared that if pushed, he would enter the capital “fully prepared,” referring to long-standing tensions with state institutions. His statement, “Their 76-year rule is collapsing, and we will resist with full force,” has intensified concerns across the country.

PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Calls for Restraint

PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali offered a softer stance, distancing the party from Gandapur’s remarks. When asked about the protests, he calmly responded, “Which protest are you referring to?” His response suggests a division within the party over the use of aggressive rhetoric. He reiterated that political dialogue should never cross into hatred or violence.

Political Fallout and National Reaction

The armed protest warning Islamabad has drawn concern from civil society, opposition leaders, and security analysts. Many fear it could fuel unrest and damage PTI’s image among moderate supporters. Political experts are urging the government and opposition to engage in constructive dialogue to avoid destabilization.

PTI Faces Internal Pressure

While Gandapur’s comments appeal to a specific base, they risk alienating broader public support. PTI’s leadership is now under pressure to clarify its official stance. If not managed properly, this rhetoric could impact both domestic stability and Pakistan’s democratic image globally.
