GILGIT-BALTISTAN – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa President Junaid Akbar Khan was arrested during the election campaign in Gilgit-Baltistan.
According to reports, Junaid Akbar Khan was taken into custody by Gilgit-Baltistan police at the Hunza area while he was visiting the region for campaign activities. He stated that he was told to leave Gilgit for not having a No Objection Certificate (NOC).
Meanwhile, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar condemned the arrest and restriction on Junaid Akbar, calling it unacceptable and an act of pre-poll rigging.
He said people should be allowed to travel freely across the country, adding that limiting political space in Gilgit-Baltistan would harm democracy.
Barrister Gohar further urged the Election Commission to ensure equal opportunities for all parties during the election campaign.
