Minister for Interior Sheikh Rashid Ahmed vowed that maintenance of law and order would be ensured at all cost in the federal capital and no one would be allowed to take law into his hands.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the minister said permission was given to Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) for holding public gathering at H-9 on Saturday and show cause notice had already been issued to them for vacating the venue.
He said stern action would be taken against those who found involved in blocking the roads besides registering First Information Reports against them.
The minister said permission is given to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) for holding rally at H-9 on March 28.
He said holing rally is opposition’s constitutional right and their time had over now. He expressed the hope that Jamait-e-Ulema Islam (JUI-F) would avoid confrontation and vacate the venue as PML-N had already been allowed to hold public gathering there on March 28.
