Furthermore, PTI activists condemned the additional pain inflicted on Arshad Sharif’s family. They demanded that the entire nation join in applauding their system of justice, as Arshad Sharif’s family continues to be denied justice.

Demonstrators asserted that all of the country’s problems find their solution in Imran Khan’s hands, as he possesses the ability to rescue the nation from crises. The protest will remain ongoing until justice is served.

Note: The protest’s longevity and the demands for justice remain central to the demonstrators’ objectives as they continue to demand ex-Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan’s release and the resolution of Arshad Sharif’s case.
