Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Information Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shafi Jan has claimed that Shahbaz Gill stole two mobile phones belonging to former prime minister Imran Khan and gave him another phone that was allegedly bugged for surveillance.
According to Shafi Jan, when Imran Khan learned about the matter, he confined Shahbaz Gill at Zaman Park. He further claimed that Gill was later removed from his party position.
Following Shafi Jan’s statement, a debate erupted on social media between supporters and critics of Shahbaz Gill. Some users described the claims as serious allegations against Gill, while others criticised Shafi Jan, arguing that a young and inexperienced person had been appointed information minister and was damaging the party’s reputation by making allegations against members of his own party.
Meanwhile, several social media users commented that PTI leaders were publicly exposing internal divisions by making statements against one another.

According to reports, the designated protest venues remained largely empty, with few participants seen at the sites. Traffic continued to flow normally in the areas where the demonstrations were expected, and no major congestion or disruptions were reported.
Peshawar remained fully operational throughout the day, while no prominent PTI leaders were seen at the protest venues or on the streets.
