Markets in Lahore and Islamabad remained mostly open on Sunday, while partial shutdown hit Peshawar, responding to a strike called by Tehreek-i-Tahafuz-i-Ayin-i-Pakistan (TTAP). TTAP, including the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), staged nationwide protests over alleged rigging in the Feb 8, 2024 general elections. PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja called the strike a "documented Constitutional method to express irritation with the system" and urged public to "express their hatred towards lies and oppression from their doorsteps." Raja said, "Shop closed, vehicle jammed. No tyrant can compare to 250 million. Today is the day of a strike." He also called it a mourning day for stolen votes and terrorism in Balochistan and Islamabad. TTAP shared visuals of closed shops across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Sindh, Punjab, and Balochistan. PTI workers held rallies in Kohat, Nasirabad, and other cities. In KP, rallies occurred at district levels with some traders and transport unions joining. Partial strikes were noted in Peshawar’s Hashtnagri and Rampura, with transport jams in Haripur. PTI leaders planned city marches and rallies addressed party leaders. In Punjab, PTI urged a "silent agitation" with shops and transport voluntarily shut, but Lahore markets remained lively due to the Basant festival. Police arrested 30 PTI workers in Okara before protests. In Sindh, Karachi’s market closures were attributed by some to Sunday being a public holiday, though PTI claimed voluntary strikes in multiple areas, calling the movement a "referendum" without street violence. Islamabad’s markets mostly stayed open despite PTI's call for strikes, citing economic hardships. PTI supporters combined protests with mourning for bombing victims. Rawalpindi saw no protests but authorities remained vigilant with some transport services suspended. In Balochistan, TTAP claimed road blockades and tire burnings at several locations. No major disruptions were reported elsewhere. The protest marks the second anniversary of the contested 2024 general elections that PTI alleges were stolen.
