Supporters of the hardliner Tehreek e Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) party take part in a protest rally in front of a picture of Pakistan's Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir in Lahore, Feb. 10, 2024 amid claims the election result delay is allowing authorities to rig the vote-counting. People look at a charred vehicle near a collapsed railway bridge a day after a blast by separatist militants at Kolpur in Bolan district, Balochistan province, Pakistan, Aug. 27, 2024.
