In light of recent legislative developments surrounding public protests, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) has issued a directive prohibiting demonstrations, rallies, and sit-ins that violate the new law on public gatherings.
However, the court has instructed Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi to initiate peaceful negotiations with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to ensure that future protests are conducted within constitutional limits.
Chief Justice Aamer Farooq issued a five-page written order in response to PTI’s petition challenging the restrictions on public protests on Thursday.
