Farooq suggested that this policy might lead large depositors to invest directly in T-Bills, PIBs, and Sukuks if banks fail to offer competitive rates.

The PTI protest, intended for November 24, paused as leaders stated they were in no rush to reach the capital. Meanwhile, supporters nationwide faced arrests, baton charges, and tear gas as they tried to join the protest.
