PTI senior leader Asad Qaiser on Saturday claimed he was prevented from reaching the Islamabad airport, resulting in him missing his flight to Skardu in connection with the ongoing election campaign in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB).
In a statement, Qaiser alleged that authorities blocked his route to the airport, causing him to miss his scheduled flight. He did not provide specific details about who blocked him or how.
The incident comes amid heightened political tensions in Pakistan, with PTI leaders frequently alleging harassment by state institutions. The GB elections are scheduled for later this year, and PTI is actively campaigning in the region.
As of now, there has been no official response from the government or airport authorities regarding Qaiser's allegations. The PTI has demanded an inquiry into the matter.
