"Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is group which believes in anarchism": Rana Sanaullah after Imran Khan's party announces protest

Islamabad [Pakistan], October 12 : Reacting to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) decision to hold a protest in Islamabad on October 15, Special Assistant to Pakistan's Prime Minister on Political Affairs, Rana Sanaullah said that Imran Khan-founded party is not a political party but a "group which believes in anarchism," ARY News reported.
He said that PTI's protest set to be held on October 15 is aimed at sabotaging the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit. The SCO is scheduled to be held in Islamabad from October 15-16.
In a statement, Sanaullah said, "PTI is not a political party, but a group which believes in anarchism." His remarks come after PTI announced that it will hold a "peaceful" protest at Islamabad's D-Chowk on October 15.
He stressed that the intentions of the Imran Khan-founded party have been exposed, adding that PTI aims to "'disrupt the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit," according to ARY News report.
Sanaullah further said, "Anti-Pakistan forces are active against the interest of the country. The PTI leaders and supporters must be confined to their traditional bases," ARY News reported.
Earlier, PTI announced the decision to hold a protest in Islamabad on October 15 after the party held its political committee meeting.
PTI's central information secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram said a 'powerful' protest would be held at D-Chowk in Islamabad on October 15. He announced PTI's decision in a post shared on X.
He said that PTI's protests in Punjab have been called off and called for the release of PTI workers, leaders, and Members of Provincial Assembly (MPAs) detained in Punjab, ARY News reported.
The Imran Khan-founded party called for an end to 'unlawful' raids and arrests by the federal and Punjab government. Sheikh Waqas Akram stated that the PTI chairman's life is under threat due to the actions of the government, which have 'stripped' him of basic human rights.
Akram also accused the government of oppression and violence, stressing that PTI will not back down. He further said, "The entire Pakistan will take to the streets on October 15, if Imran Khan is not granted access to basic rights, family, and party leaders," the report said.
Earlier, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that the allegations were being made against the government and attempts were made to create chaos at a time when the Chinese Premier was scheduled to pay a bilateral visit to the country.
He called the PTI's recent protest a replica of the 2014 sit-in by the party and asserted that the repeat of a "gory tale" would not be allowed at any cost, according to ARY News report.
He said, "Such incidents are a replica of 2014-15 incidents when a sit-in was staged for months and was not called off despite the announcement of the Chinese president's visit to Pakistan without bothering about its impact on the country's image and national economy... We will not allow it to be repeated. We will not tolerate it at any rate, at any cost. This is my promise. I will not let it happen."
