Islamabad: Reports have emerged of police shelling on a convoy led by Leader of the Opposition, Umar Ayub, as it traveled from Haripur to Islamabad for a PTI protest. Speaking to the media, Ayub criticized the government for blocking all access between Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and the rest of the country under the guise of motorway repairs. Upon reaching the Jhand border in Punjab’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region, the convoy was met with police shelling.
