Islamabad: The government will not allow PTI supporters to protest outside the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) as it falls in Islamabad’s high-security “Red Zone” area, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah vowed on Wednesday.
Flanked by Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, he told a press conference that the demonstrators will be allowed to hold their protest at the nearby F-9 park or the Parade Ground.
“But there will be no permission for protest in [the] Red Zone and anyone who tries to enter [the area] forcibly will be dealt as per law,” he warned.
In a tweet, he also said that there was apprehension of “PTI miscreants attacking ECP”, hence a ban had been imposed on protests in the Red Zone.
There is a complete ban on protests in the Red Zone and there is an apprehension of PTI miscreants attacking ECP. So, if anyone tries to cross the red line, strict action will come into play. The SC has allocated F-9 Park for peaceful protests which PTI can use for this purpose.
