Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has alleged that the PTI intends to spread “violence” and “chaos” during its long march to Islamabad, contrary to the party’s claim of holding a peaceful protest.

The minister made these remarks during a press conference, sharing an audio clip, purportedly of former federal minister and PTI leader Ali Amin Gandapur, as evidence of his claim.

In the clip, a man, believed to Gandapur, is heard asking an unidentified person about the number of guns and individuals available. He also asks the other person to keep “things and people” ready at a location near the Islamabad border.

Sanaullah said that a forensic audit of the audio clip could be conducted to prove its authenticity and asked the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief secretary and police chief to take notice and “immediately” arrest the two people it featured.
