It was a sane decision to end protest because Nani & Mason had planned something evil. Let's see how media's responds about the barbarism today, as reporters were beaten and arrested also.

The PTI announced new protest dates on Saturday as its demonstrations in Rawalpindi came to an end after a day of clashes with the police
The Rawalpindi police blocked the entry and points of the garrison city in an attempt to prevent PTI workers from gathering for a protest at Liaquat Bagh. The party had announced Liaquat Bagh as the venue for the protest, which was earlier planned to be a rally. However, the PTI founder changed the decision, saying that the government would not allow his party to hold the event in the city and designate a venue in the suburbs.
In an attempt to thwart PTI’s protest, the provincial government banned all public gatherings and stationed paramilitary forces in Rawalpindi.
PTI Central Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram delivered a video statement felicitating party workers for coming out to the protest.
“I want to congratulate every PTI leader, worker, and stakeholder who made it to Liaquat Bagh today,” Waqas said. He praised them for demonstrating in the face of police shelling and “straight firing” and for moving containers and barriers.
He announced that there would be large protests in Multan, Mianwali and Faisalabad on October 2. “It is your duty to come out,” Waqas said.

Over 100 rounded up as police contain PTI protest
RAWALPINDI: As PTI supporters took to the streets to converge on Liaquat Bagh for their demonstration, Punjab police arrested over 110 supporters, including party leaders, after clashes while the smell of teargas used to disperse the protesters permeated the air.The garrison town remained ‘under virtual siege’ on Saturday, with containers placed on every route leading to the protest site as well as Murree Road, which passes through the heart of the city.
On more than 25 ‘blocking points’, contingents of the anti-riot police armed with teargas grenades and rubber bullets were stationed to stop the PTI protesters. In total, more than 4,200 police officials were deployed to counter the demonstration. A senior police official said PTI leaders, including Seemabia Tahir, were also detained and cases against them were being registered.
In the afternoon, PTI officials started moving towards Liaquat Bagh in small groups. The party activists assembled in narrow streets along the road using the densely populated neighbourhoods as a cover but attempts to occupy Murree Road were repulsed by the police.
The workers then retaliated by pelting the police with stones, and the latter responded with teargas and baton-charge to push them back. The PTI workers as they retreated towards the streets hurled more rocks at the police amid intense teargas shelling.
After some time, the PTI workers gathered on College Road, which had been blocked with a container. However, their attempts to remove the container were not fruitful as the police again pushed them back using teargas.
Besides small groups led by local leaders, Imran Khan’s sisters Aleema and Uzma Khan before the sunset appeared near Marrir Chowk on their way back from Adiala Jail but the police promptly used teargas to disperse them. A group of the PTI legal wing gathered at the Quaid-i-Azam Hall in the Rawalpindi district courts in the afternoon, but the police dispersed them as well.
This hide-and-seek between the police and the party supporters continued late into the evening and only ended after Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur called off the protest.

Incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan's sister Aleema Khan has stated that if Imran Khan is to be released from jail, peaceful protests must continue; otherwise, they could put him in a military jail
Speaking to reporters outside Adiala Jail on Monday, Aleema mentioned that Judge Shah Rukh Arjmand rejected the bail applications of the PTI founder and Bushra Bibi.
This same judge had dragged the waiting case for three months and has now delayed this case as well.
Aleema Khan emphasized that to remove Imran Khan from jail and "end this fascism", peaceful protests must continue; otherwise, they may "put Imran in military custody" instead of allowing him to come out.
She remarked that the people of Rawalpindi had come out for peaceful protests for their freedom and the freedom of the judiciary, and they joined in solidarity.
She testified that there was no police present; instead, a special unit dressed in black was firing rubber bullets directly at people.
"A large convoy led by Ali Amin reached Burhan, where they were shot at. The government is scared that people are demanding their right to vote".
Aleema Khan noted that the PTI founder said protests should never stop and that the protest two days ago should not have been called off.
She affirmed that the upcoming protests would not cease, stating, "We need Imran Khan out; we need an independent judiciary. There is no other way to release Imran Khan and the other prisoners."
She announced that protests are scheduled in Bahawalpur, Mianwali, and Faisalabad on Wednesday, emphasizing that this is the constitutional right of the people, which cannot be taken away.
"There will also be a protest on October 5 at Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore to celebrate the PTI founder's birthday, with the date for Karachi's protest yet to be determined, Aleema maintained.
She said that the Islamabad protest will be the final round, with the date to be announced soon.
"No amount of tear gas or rubber bullets would stop them from exercising their constitutional rights," she added.

Don’t see PTI surviving anymore, the Establishment has taken over every department. Almost seems like the firewall as well is under them now.

PTI will survive, once the establishment gets rids of IK they’ll make PTI into another PML-N/PPP type of party. They’re not just going to get rid of the most popular party in the country. That would just lead to more chaos.

PTI to stage protest at D-Chowk on Oct 4
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced a protest at D-Chowk on Oct 4.
The party leadership in Peshawar decided to proceed with the protest at D-Chowk regardless of the circumstances. The decision was made during a meeting of the PTI parliamentary party in Peshawar, chaired by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.
Addressing the meeting, CM Gandapur acknowledged flaws in the planning of their previous protest, which led to an early withdrawal. He highlighted the lack of proper protective equipment, such as masks, for workers and leaders during the tear gas shelling.
This time, Gandapur assured that well-trained workers and essential equipment would lead the procession to avoid similar issues.
"Unlike last time, machinery will be ahead of the convoys, ensuring that blocked roads won't hinder the protest's progress to D-Chowk," he said, cautioning that the protest could last for several days.
The meeting concluded with plans for convoys to depart from Peshawar at 11am and from Swabi in the afternoon on the day of the protest, with CM Gandapur leading the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa delegation once again.
