PTI plans November 24 protest despite court ruling and gathering bans in Punjab
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party plans to proceed with its protest on November 24, despite a court ruling declaring it unlawful and bans on gatherings in Islamabad and Punjab. PTI leaders remain committed to the event, citing grievances against the government. Punjab authorities have imposed Section 144, banning public gatherings from Saturday to Monday. This measure aims to prevent potential disturbances and ensure public safety amid concerns of anti-state activities linked to the planned protest. In Islamabad, the ban on gatherings has been extended for two months, while Rawalpindi's restrictions last until November 26. Authorities are taking these steps to maintain order and protect public and private property during the anticipated protests.
