Abstract

The article from Bloomberg.com reports that Imran Khan's supporters in Pakistan ended their protest in Islamabad after the government arrested hundreds of protesters in a crackdown following two days of deadly demonstrations. The protest, led by Khan's party, resulted in clashes with security officials, leading to casualties on both sides. The government's actions to disperse the protesters caused financial market fluctuations, with the benchmark KSE-100 index recovering losses from the previous day. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's government views the protests as a distraction from its efforts to stabilize the economy through reforms under an IMF loan program. [Extracted from the article]
