As the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf prepares for its ‘decisive’ rally on November 30, the government is devising strategies on how to deploy the military to protect state institutions.
“For protection of constitutional buildings, the government has determined how to engage military to keep protestors away from these offices on November 30,” Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar said, while addressing the media in Islamabad on Thursday.
“We will not allow them [protestors] to enter the Red Zone. Nobody will be allowed to take laws into his hands,” he affirmed.
Claiming that the PTI has sought permission from the district administration to hold a rally at D-Chowk, Nisar said, “We will decide tomorrow whether to allow them to hold a rally at their proposed place or not.”
Censuring PTI chairman Imran Khan’s rallies, the interior minister claimed more than Rs1 billion have been spent on law enforcement agencies performing duties in Islamabad owing to the ongoing sit-ins.
