Pakistan's jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's sons have revealed that authorities are intensifying their crackdown on the opposition party ahead of new protests. This move suggests that the government is taking a hardline stance against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, led by Khan. The situation is concerning as it may lead to further unrest and potentially impact the country's economy. The detention of Khan and his family members is also raising human rights concerns.
