LAHORE, Pakistan: The Lahore High Court (LHC) has ordered the removal of all the containers placed throughout Punjab, saying that it will not allow violation of anyone’s rights in the name of security.
The full bench of the LHC headed by Justice Mahmood Ahmad Bhatti while hearing a petition seeking removal of containers from Punjab province on Wednesday told the government that it will not allow violation of anyone’s rights in the name of security.
The high court also ordered the government to ensure provision of fuel across the province and not harass any activist of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
In a desperate move to stop people from reaching the federal capital to participate in the PTI’s planned protest rally on August 14, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government has blocked routes leading to Islamabad with shipping containers and other forms of barriers.
