A local court in Peshawar ordered registering a First Information Report (FIR) against the organisers of this year’s Aurat March in Islamabad on Friday.
The decision was taken after an additional sessions court heard a petition against the organisers for allegedly committing un-Islamic acts in the name of the women’s march.
Granting the petition, the court ordered to register an FIR against the organisers for ‘insulting the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions’.
Earlier this month, the TTP, a banned outfit, threatened the organisers of the Aurat March who planned demonstrations to mark the International Women’s Day in the country, accusing them of blasphemy and obscenity.
