Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Shaukat Yousafzai on Sunday warned Maulana Fazlur Rehman-led JUI-F against wearing law enforcement agencies-like uniforms and stick-wielding protesters during his party’s Azadi March – the anti-government protest scheduled to be held on October 31.
The Jamiat Ulema Islam-F chief has announced that his party would march on Islamabad in an attempt to overthrow the ruling PTI government which he alleges has come to power through rigging. However, other opposition parties are in two minds over joining hands with Fazl.
“The K-P government will take action against activists of the JUI-F wearing uniforms similar to law enforcement forces and carrying sticks which is violation of the Article 152 and National Action Plan,” said the minister while addressing a news conference in Peshawar.
His response comes hours after the JUI-F chief warned the Prime Minister Imran Khan government against creating hurdles in the way of the Azadi March and taking any action against his party workers.
