Prior to this, the district administration rejected Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) application to hold a public rally against alleged vote rigging in the February 8 general elections, citing security reasons.
The district administration has made it clear that given the law and order situation, protests cannot be allowed at any place, including D-Chowk.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) had ordered DC Islamabad to decide on the application, but Islamabad Deputy Commissioner rejected the request due to the ‘law and order situation’.
PTI regional president Aamir Masood Mughal had announced that his party would again approach the IHC, stating, “If you can’t provide security even in the capital, then you have no right to stay in the government”.
