Minister of State for Interior Tallal Chaudhry said on Tuesday that compliance with Section 144 would be ensured.
?Whether they come to the Islamabad High Court or the Adiala jail, action under Section 144 would be carried out without any discrimination,? Chaudhry said while speaking to the media in Islamabad.
The development comes as the PTI has decided to stage protests outside the Islamabad High Court and Rawalpindi?s Adiala jail today against restrictions on Imran?s visitation rights.
The decision to assemble comes amid a ban on public gatherings in the twin cities. The federal capital administration had imposed the ban on Nov 18 for two months, whereas the Rawalpindi district administration issued a notification yesterday for a three-day ban on gatherings. It may be noted that the Peaceful Assembly and Public Order Act 2024 also allows the district magistrate to regulate public gatherings in the capital.
PTI leader Asad Qaiser said on Monday the opposition lawmakers from both houses of parliament will protest outside the IHC before taking their demonstration to Adiala jail in Rawalpindi. ?It has been decided to hold protests because IHC has failed to implement its order and the Adiala jail administration is not willing to implement the court orders,? he said.
Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and other leaders will stage protests in the twin cities, Qaiser said.
Last week, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi had staged a sit-in outside the prison after he was barred from meeting Imran for the eighth time. Similarly, the ex-premier?s family members have not been allowed to meet him for several weeks. There were also speculations about his health, but the government and the PTI leaders had said that he was in good health.
