Pakistan has tightened security around former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s stronghold, a move that could backfire and increase instability.
The government’s decision to lock down the area has sparked a standoff with Khan’s supporters, who have long been a powerful force in the country’s political landscape.
Some analysts fear that the crackdown may provoke further unrest, rather than calm the situation, as the opposition’s base remains deeply entrenched.
With tensions already high, the authorities are wary that any misstep could trigger a wider backlash, potentially destabilising the political environment.
The situation remains fluid, and observers are watching closely to see how the standoff will unfold in the coming days.
