Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary of Information, Sheikh Waqas Akram, has rejected recent reports claiming that the party is planning a fresh protest in Islamabad on December 7. Speaking in an interview on Express News's "Centre Stage" programme, Akram dismissed the claims as "false news."

Frantic escape by party leaders during a security crackdown could hurt the PTI. But the government faces questions too.

The recent three-day protest by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Islamabad incurred expenses exceeding Rs330 million, according to sources. The protests, organized under the pretext of security concerns, led to major expenditures by the Islamabad Police.
