Islamabad court bars PTI from holding protest in capital under new assembly law
geo.tv —
The Islamabad High Court has ordered authorities to prevent the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from holding a protest in Islamabad, citing a new peaceful assembly law. This decision follows a petition from a trader association. During the hearing, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi was summoned to discuss the situation. The court instructed the formation of a committee, led by the Interior Minister or another official, to communicate with PTI leaders about the protest's timing. The court's ruling emphasizes the need for coordination due to the upcoming visit of the Belarus president this weekend.
