Naqvi warns of legal action against violators of IHC protest ruling
Naqvi said violators of the court order could face contempt proceedings as authorities move to block any march that disrupts the capital.
- On Friday, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi warned that the government would stop anyone from attempting to "storm Islamabad" in every possible way, following an Islamabad High Court verdict prohibiting political parties from occupying public roads and buildings.
- The IHC ruling this past week bars political parties and officials from obstructing public access to roads and essential institutions, declaring that while peaceful assembly is a constitutional right in Pakistan, it remains subject to reasonable restrictions to maintain public order.
- Jamaat-E-Islami Emir Engineer Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman assured students that his party would not disrupt the Medical and Dental College Admission Test on September 20, condemning government-imposed roadblocks as unacceptable.
- Naqvi pledged to initiate contempt of court proceedings against violators of the court order, while the opposition alliance led by Mahmood Khan Achakzai prepares a coordinated strategy for the September 27 protest demanding constitutional supremacy.
- Citing the recent Kohat Police Lines attack that left more than 50 injured, Naqvi urged political leaders to focus on national security in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa rather than mobilizing protests, saying 90% of government attention should address terrorism.
