It has been reported that PTI supporters disguised as a wedding procession in Faisalabad were heading towards Islamabad to protest.
Surprisingly, the arrest was made by the police in Faisalabad after PTI supporters acted as if they were part of a wedding procession. This group has set out to go to Islamabad to attend a protest calling for the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Indeed, their vehicles had been adequately decorated with flowers, and one even dressed up as a groom, presiding over the entire event.

Allegations have it that the assembly had come illicitly; hence, the police decided to check the vehicles toured with the event and later arrested these protesters. This is also a wider crackdown on PTI activists who had come up with plans to evade all means of capture and fool law enforcement.
Disguise and Deception
The supporters have resorted to a form of creativity by staging what they would call a “wedding” as a protest, measures they would go to show their solidarity for their course. Obviously, this would be the convoy, all flowered up and bearing a “groom”, then expect to defray police scrutiny. The authorities, however, would not lean toward them and could catch the act before reaching their destination.
Police Intervention
Police thoroughly checked the vehicles and discovered who would come to arrange this procession so they could arrest activists and move them into custody. This again marks an episode of clampdown by the government concerning PTI supporters. This incident depicts the frail condition under which the government and PTI are standing against one another, as PTI activists are coming up with creative suggestions on continuing dissent in the country.

Broader Implications
These arrests reveal the tension in which activists go to lengths for their conscience. Disputed actions raise questions about the effectiveness of such devices and the measures law enforcement will take to prevent future such incidents. The political climate remains charged between the two sides, and both are likely to continue.
Conclusion: The case of PTI supporters caught in jihaadi disguise as a wedding procession in Faisalabad is symbolic of the continuing political strife in Pakistan. The extent to which an activist would go to support his cause and the extent to which he is willing to go would be clear from this incident, as well as the government’s determination to keep a lid on those activities.
