ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: A petition was filed in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday, challenging the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) scheduled Azadi march.
The PTI will hold its Azadi march in Islamabad on August 14 to protest alleged rigging in the general elections held last year and to press for electoral reforms.
In a petition filed in the IHC by Abdullah Tahir, it was argued that the Azadi march is against fundamental rights as not only would it disrupt the free movement of citizens in the federal capital, it would also endanger their security.
The petitioner asked the IHC to stop the march from taking place.
