Army deployed in Islamabad and Lahore amid protests by Imran's party

The situation turned tense as supporters of former prime minister Imran Khan reached D-Chowk in the heart of the capital to register a symbolic victory amid heavy deployment of the army in Islamabad. Clashes also broke out between supporters of Imran Khan's party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and policemen in Islamabad and Lahore. Party workers in Lahore tried to march towards the Minar-e-Pakistan ground, calling it a "do or die" situation. Police fired tear gas shells throughout the day to prevent PTI workers and supporters from reaching D-Chowk in Islamabad, but rain and changes in wind direction sent the smoke toward the policemen, allowing protesters to reach the venue in the evening. However, it was not clear at around 9 pm whether the protesters would stay there or leave. Security personnel returned to D-Chowk after the rain stopped. Earlier, authorities had called in the army in Islamabad and Lahore to prevent protests by Khan's party.
