Thousands of supporters march towards Islamabad demanding Imran Khan's release

Thousands of supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, currently imprisoned in Pakistan, are marching towards the capital, Islamabad.

This march by supporters of Imran Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), began on Sunday from the city of Lakki Marwat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa—located approximately 275 kilometers from Islamabad.

The objective of this protest, led by Tehreek-e-Insaf, is to pressure the government into releasing Imran Khan.

Meanwhile, concerns regarding the health of 73-year-old Imran Khan are mounting. His family claims that he has lost most of the vision in his right eye due to a lack of timely medical treatment provided by the prison authorities.

More than 100 cases have been registered against Imran Khan, the cricketer-turned-politician. Last year, he was sentenced to 17 years in prison in a corruption case. However, Khan has consistently maintained that these cases are politically motivated.

This march towards Islamabad was originally scheduled for last week but was postponed to pave the way for talks between the government and PTI.

However, the negotiations between the two sides failed to yield a result, and the march resumed following the ensuing deadlock.

The foundation of India-Russia relations has been strong since the 1950s: Jaishankar

Speaking on India-Russia relations, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar stated that the foundation of the ties between the two nations has been strong since the 1950s.

At the 62nd Munich Security Conference, Jaishankar noted that the scope of India-Russia relations has expanded with the changing times.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said, "India and Russia have historically shared excellent relations, particularly since the 1950s. That history has not been forgotten... For us, the Soviet Union was a country that stood by us in many ways when our security and territorial integrity were under threat."

Without explicitly naming Pakistan, he remarked, "At a time when most countries in the world preferred to support a military regime in our neighborhood, Russia was a country with which we maintained very good relations."

Describing the Russia-Ukraine war as an "unfortunate conflict," he said, "Our stance on this conflict has been absolutely clear: we want to see it come to an end. This will require dialogue and diplomacy; talks are essential in this matter."

S. Jaishankar stated that India has engaged in discussions with both countries in an effort to bring the war to a halt.

Ramesh Chennithala, the Home Minister of the Indian state of Kerala, has ordered an inquiry against India's Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar. News agencies PTI and ANI reported this development.

The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) will conduct the probe against Gyanesh Kumar, investigating allegations of corruption in the Kerala State Transport Project (KSTP) road construction project from 2006, as well as the death of a Malaysian contractor associated with it.

At that time, Gyanesh Kumar was serving as the Public Works Department (PWD) Secretary in the state.

This move against Gyanesh Kumar comes amidst protests and demands for his resignation regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list.

According to PTI, Gyanesh Kumar is a Kerala-cadre IAS officer who held responsibilities in various state departments before moving to central government ministries.

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs summoned the Acting High Commissioner of Pakistan on Saturday.

The Ministry stated that India has lodged a strong protest regarding the "facilitation of illegal cross-border infiltration from Pakistan."

The Ministry dismissed the allegations made by Pakistan concerning an incident on the International Border in the Ferozepur sector of Punjab on October 2, 2026, terming them baseless and malicious.

In an official statement, the Ministry of External Affairs said, "Pakistan was informed that three individuals had intruded into Indian territory. Despite repeated warnings from the BSF to return to Pakistan, they continued to advance towards the border fence. The BSF was compelled to take action against them as they posed a serious security threat."

India took this step a few hours after Pakistan had summoned the Indian Acting High Commissioner in Islamabad.

Pakistan had claimed that personnel from the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) had "killed two Pakistani nationals" in the Bedian sector along the International Border on October 2, 2026.
