The Lahore High Court will take up the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s plea for barring police from arresting party activists before the September 21 rally in Lahore.
Justice Farooq Haider will conduct the hearing tomorrow as an urgent case. Opposition Leader in Punjab Assembly Ahmed Khan and Imtiaz Mehmood Sheikh filed the petition, requesting the court to ask the authorities to refrain from making the arrests.
The federal government, Punjab government and others have been made parties in the petition.
The petitioners contended a meeting is going to be held in PTI Lahore on September 21. The police are arresting workers and leaders even before the rally, they said, adding that it is the constitutional and legal right of any political party to hold a rally.
