ISLAMABAD: The district administration of the federal capital has denied permission to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to hold long march protest and sit-in in Islamabad.
The administration stated, in a separate petition filed in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) by Advocate General Islamabad Jahangir Khan Jadoon, that there are reports from security agencies of a ‘serious threat’ to PTI chief Imran Khan’s life, hence, in view of such serious threats, they cannot give permission for a rally or sit-in.
The application added that the deposed prime minister’s container during the party’s ‘Haqeeqi Azadi’ march was attacked in Wazirabad, adding that the assailant has mentioned religious tendencies in his confessional statement.
A written confession of the assailant has also been made part of the application.
