The most recent development in the ongoing political unrest in Pakistan involves the Sindh government's decision to release nearly 300 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers detained under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance. According to Dawn, PTI spokesperson Fauzia Siddiqui confirmed that Sindh Home Minister Zia Lanjar communicated the decision to party MPAs, and the release process is expected to conclude by Tuesday evening. This decision follows a series of protests and strikes organized by PTI and its allied platform, Tehreek-e-Tahafuz Ayeen-e-Pakistan (TTAP), which have been marked by mixed responses across the country. The protests, intended to mark the second anniversary of the February 8, 2024, general elections, which PTI claims were rigged, have seen varying levels of participation, with significant disruptions in Balochistan but limited impact in Punjab, as reported by Tribune Latest.
