Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi vowed to secure Islamabad as supporters of ex-premier Imran Khan planned protests. Amid internet restrictions and enhanced security, Khan's party decries the current regime as autocratic, leading to a nationwide protest on November 24. The situation coincides with a crucial state visit by Belarus.

Pakistan's Capital City Islamabad stands on edge as Imran Khan's followers gear up for a protest, challenging the current government's policies. Saturday saw Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi assertive steps to tighten the city's security amid expected demonstrations.
