Ro Khannaamerican Congressman

Horrified by reports of an attempted cover-up of the alleged killings of peaceful protesters by Asim Munir's regime in Pakistan,

Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna said

The Pakistani people deserve a vibrant democracy, including the right to free speech and expression,

she said

The US must impose visa bans and asset freezes on senior officials in the military regime,

he said

Reports that a number of protesters were killed are deeply worrying. Pakistani authorities should conduct a credible and transparent investigation. Pakistan's government should adhere to its international commitments to preserve civil and political rights, which are enshrined in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,

it said

Both Imran Khan's wife and I were attacked directly,

Gandapur told a press conference in the city of Mansehra, in the province he rules

As of now, no death has been reported, and the claims circulating regarding any such incidents are baseless and unverified,

it said in a statement

A stable Pakistan is in the benefit of not only the region, but the globe, and no stability in Pakistan can come until there is political stability,

Zulfikar said

Elon Musk must play a role because here he is tweeting about other countries not having the freedom of expression and X not being allowed and so on, or X is being allowed, but even being somewhat hinged in what you're allowed to say or not to say,

Zulfikar said

In Pakistan and around the world, we support freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, and association."

In response to the latest turmoil surrounding the protests demanding Khan's release in Pakistan, U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters

We expect it to be very different with the Republican regime, with having President Trump back as president,

Zulfikar told Newsweek

I think, without a doubt, both are extremely popular leaders,

Zulfikar said

We want the U.S., ideally, President Trump's regime, to take the lead in that,

he added

When I say support, it's not of just Imran Khan or PTI, but support of 250 million people,

he added

It is high time they agree on a peaceful way forward instead of inciting their supporters and bringing the country to a standstill,

a statement said

The bullet hit me in the chest,

said Kaleem, who struggled for breath

At least seven have died and four are in critical condition in the hospital,

he said

All records of dead and injured have been confiscated by authorities. We are not allowed to talk. Senior government officials are visiting the hospital to hide the records,

he said

Today, armed security forces launched a violent assault on peaceful PTI protesters in Islamabad, firing live rounds with the intent to kill as many people as possible,

the opposition party said in a statement

The loss of life and economic damage over the past few days lies squarely on her shoulders,

Naqvi said on Tuesday

We have policemen with bullet wounds, which indicates the protesters were armed,

Afzal said
