Police start crackdown on PTI workers as deadline for ‘much-hyped’ Islamabad rally ends
ISLAMABAD: Following the directives issued by the district administration, the police have launched a crackdown after the deadline of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) much-hyped rally at outskirts of the federal capital ended on Sunday.
The rally kicked off with tight security in the federal capital as the participants of the rally gathered at the venue — Sangjani locality, while multiple caravans moved towards the city under the leadership of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, despite roadblocks.
The former ruling party had been allowed to hold the gathering under a no-objection certificate (NOC) issued earlier in the week, but the Islamabad district administration put the security on high alert this morning and blocked off multiple arteries leading to the capital city.
