High courts in Islamabad and Peshawar challenge PTI's planned protest on November 24

The Islamabad and Peshawar high courts have received petitions to declare the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) planned protest on November 24 as illegal. The petitions express concerns over potential violence and disruption in the capital. The federal government is preparing to seal off Islamabad in anticipation of the protest, which is being organized by PTI leaders, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Chief Minister. The petition argues that the protest threatens national unity and public order. In response, the Islamabad High Court has summoned key government officials to address the situation. Additionally, PTI has formed a "Jihadi Squad" of 9,000 members to lead the protest, equipped for potential clashes.
