NEW DELHI, Nov 26 — Malaysians in Pakistan have been advised to exercise caution due to a march on the capital Islamabad by jailed former premier Imran Khan’s supporters.
The Malaysian High Commission in Islamabad asked them to stay informed about the local situation, follow the instructions issued by Pakistani officials, and register with the diplomatic mission.
"Avoid unnecessary travel, especially in areas that may be affected by unrest. If you must travel, inform someone of your plans
"Abide by the rules and regulations set forth by local authorities. Compliance is essential for your safety," it said in an advisory on its Facebook page today.
Four security personnel were killed in an attack yesterday that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif blamed on Imran's supporters today, who have been trying to reach D-Chowk, the square outside the Parliament building, since Sunday (November 24).
The marchers are trying to put pressure on the government to release Imran, who is in jail facing several cases.
The government has vowed to deal with the mobs with a heavy hand if the banned protest is held in the capital's main area.
