IHC Asks K-P Officials to Assure No Govt Machinery Will Be Used in PTI's Sept 27 March
The court ordered Khyber Pakhtunkhwa officials to assure that no government machinery will be used for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf march.
- On Friday, the Islamabad High Court ordered the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa chief secretary and inspector general of police to submit affidavits ensuring no government machinery is used for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf September 27 protest.
- Citizen Waqas Ahmed filed the petition arguing the planned September 27 march—announced last month to demand Imran Khan's release—could disrupt business in Islamabad, with demonstrations also scheduled for Lahore, Karachi, Hyderabad, and Quetta.
- Chief Justice Sardar Sarfraz Dogar observed the K-P chief minister is "wearing two hats," acting as both provincial leader and party member, while the advocate general challenged the IHC's jurisdiction beyond Islamabad.
- The court explicitly directed that no government resources shall be used in any political rally or procession, adjourning the hearing until Monday, September 14, while officials from other provinces need not appear.
- Advocate General Islamabad and Prosecutor General Manzoor Judja will present arguments at the Monday hearing, as the bench including Justice Muhammad Azam Khan clarified that case scheduling remains an administrative matter.
