Frantic escape by party leaders during a security crackdown could hurt the PTI. But the government faces questions too.

PTI also claimed that eight of its workers have allegedly been killed, though police claimed that six people, including four paramilitary forces, have died in the protest.

The PTI political committee voiced concerns over deviations from Imran Khan's directives during the Islamabad protest. Members questioned the D-Chowk protest decision and agreed to pursue legal action and demand a judicial commission to investigate worker and security personnel deaths.
