According to two police officials, more than 200 supporters of PTI were arrested in overnight raids in Punjab. Sanaullah denounced PTI workers and leaders as “delinquents” out to set the stage for chaos and division in the nation. If they did not have any such purpose, they would have launched their long march from Islamabad instead of Peshawar. The federal government has sought assistance from contingents of the security personnel along with the complete command system from all provinces. Similarly, over 4,000 Rangers personnel will be in the federal capital and 15,000 tear gas shells have also been demanded from the provinces.
