Islamabad :Ā The Pakistan government on Tuesday banned oustedĀ Prime Minister Imran Khan‘s party from holding a massive rally on May 25 to prevent them from propagating their misleading agenda, after more than 100 supporters were arrested in overnight raids across the country.
On Saturday, Khan had asked his supporters to march peacefully to Islamabad on May 25 to press for the dissolution of the National Assembly and fresh elections in the country.Ā Pakistan’s coalition government, however, has rejected Khan’s demand that early elections be held in the country, saying the government will complete its tenure and the polls would be held next year.
Peaceful protest is the right of everyone but they (supporters of Khan) are not coming for a peaceful protest. We would not have objected if they had not termed their demonstration as a bloody protest’, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah told the media.
