PTI observes hunger strike

In a bid to gain the release of its founder Imran Khan and other leaders, the beleaguered Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) set up a hunger strike camp outside Islamabad’s Parliament House on Tuesday. The party has already suffered two major setbacks in as many days: earlier today, the authorities sealed the party’s central secretariat in the federal capital, Raoof Hasan, the party’s information secretary, was arrested along with other party employees, and a day earlier, Islamabad police arrested Hasan from the party’s Central Secretariat for leading a digital media cell and allegedly distributing anti-Pakistan propaganda. Speaking to journalists outside parliament, party chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan declared that the hunger strike will be observed every day.
