Pakistan's Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) held a significant rally demanding the immediate release of jailed former premier Imran Khan in Islamabad on Sunday, affirming its strong support base despite governmental crackdowns.

The rally, delayed twice in the past two months, gathered thousands near Sangjani Cattle Market, defying restrictions as police used tear gas to disperse the crowd.

Khan, who has been imprisoned for over a year following corruption charges, was central to the demands, with PTI leaders vowing continued protests until his release. Sunday's event, held amidst heavy security measures, highlighted PTI's mobilization capabilities and popular support.
