Islamabad (Khyber Mail): Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan is set to organize a Gaza Solidarity March in the federal capital today at 3:00 p.m., drawing heightened security measures across the city. The demonstration, aimed at expressing solidarity with the people of Gaza, is expected to attract large numbers of participants.
In response, authorities have completely sealed off the Red Zone using containers and barbed wire, as reported by local media. The Faizabad junction, a major transit point, has also been closed off with containers, disrupting normal traffic flow.
Sources indicate that all major routes leading to the Red Zone may be blocked as needed to maintain security and prevent unauthorized entry. Commuters are strongly advised to avoid the affected areas and remain vigilant.
The government has not yet issued an official statement, but heightened security presence and roadblocks suggest preparations for potential large-scale turnout and associated risks.
The march reflects the growing public concern and political engagement in Pakistan regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with Jamaat-e-Islami calling for international action and support for the Palestinian people.
