On August 5, 2025, Pakistan's opposition party Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), led by former Prime Minister Imran Khan, organized protests across multiple cities including Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, and various districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) to mark the second anniversary of Khan's incarceration. The protests aimed to demand Khan's release and included rallies outside Adiala Jail and the Supreme Court. Police responded with arrests and the use of tear gas to disperse demonstrators, detaining over 240 PTI activists nationwide. The protests were marked by internal divisions within PTI, with separate rallies in Peshawar led by KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur and PTI leader Ahmed Niazi, during which Gandapur's vehicle was stopped by party workers. Despite the mobilization, the turnout was lower than expected, with reports of administrative weaknesses and diminished street-level support. Several PTI members faced legal actions, including disqualifications by the Election Commission and multiple cases registered in Lahore for unauthorized protests. PTI leadership confirmed the continuation of protest plans, though some leaders expressed doubts about the movement's effectiveness. Meanwhile, KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur reaffirmed his commitment to remain in office and denied leaving Pakistan. Critics highlighted governance issues in KP under PTI's 13-year rule, citing poor performance and corruption allegations. The protests also faced criticism for failing to present a unified opposition front or achieve significant political gains.
