PTI’s Independence Day Defiance: Second Phase of Anti-Govt Protests Begins
Asad Qaiser, a senior leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former National Assembly speaker, has declared the commencement of the second phase of their ongoing protest movement. This significant escalation is timed to coincide with Pakistan’s Independence Day, August 14, 2025.
The announcement marks a heightened challenge to the current government. The PTI’s first phase of protests has already seen considerable unrest across the nation.
This renewed push for change is expected to draw large crowds and potentially disrupt celebrations marking the country’s independence. The move carries significant political implications, especially given the already tense political climate.
The coming days will be crucial in observing the scale and impact of these protests, and their potential to reshape Pakistan’s political landscape. The nation watches with bated breath as this high-stakes political drama unfolds.
