ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court of Pakistan has directed Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP) Ashtar Ausaf to seek directions from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif regarding five suggestions given by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) for holding its long march in Islamabad.
During the apex court proceedings against road closures in Islamabad led by a three-member bench, the PTI counsel Babar Awan presented five demands of the party before the apex court.
Detailing the five demands of the party, Babar Awan said asked the government to give space to the PTI at the same place where JUI-F held two sit-ins in Islamabad previously, all containers and blockades be removed, all activists arrested -not booked under penal charges- shall be released immediately, protection of chadar and char dewari should be guaranteed and lawyers should not be harassed while raids should not be carried out at offices.
“We are ready to approach courts for those booked under penal laws,” he said.
The Islamabad High Court Bar Association also shared during the court proceedings that 500 lawyers have been arrested so far.
To this, Justice Ijaz ul Ahsan said that all of them involved on both sides are loyal Pakistanis and the court is playing its role as a mediator in the entire situation. “Democratic norms should be adopted for resolving political issues,” the judge remarked.
