A petition has been filed at the Supreme Court’s Lahore Registry, seeking directions for preventing ‘independence march’ announced by the PTI chief Imran Khan on August 14.
It is contended in a petition, filed by Barrister Zafarullah Khan, that August 14 is a national independence day where Pakistanis across the world mark this day with jingoism.
“Independence day is a very important for any country, however Imran Khan has announced protest march on the said day that may lead to anarchy in the country,” he argued in the petition.
The petitioner contended that such a march on Independence Day would tarnish Pakistan’s image internationally.
