Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has claimed that mobile service is active and internet has been shut down partially, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Talking to media, Interior Minister said, “no one has come out from the country, only PTI protestors are coming from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Mohsin Naqvi said roads are not blocked like in the past. He made it clear that anyone who comes for protest will be arrested.
Mohsin Naqvi said government has yet to decide either to stop the protestors or allow them.
He said government will protect public from violence. He advised PTI that there is no use of violence it will hurt national economy. Naqvi asserted that the government will act on Islamabad High Court’s decision. Naqvi raised question why PTI gives protest call during the visits of foreign dignitaries.
Mohsin Naqvi said during last PTI protest, 33 percent of the protests were Afghans. He said Belarus delegation is arriving in Federal Capital today. He said after the protest ends, they will tell about the damage to the economy. Mohsin Naqvi said PTI threats will not help them.
Earlier, Naqvi took an aerial view of Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Attock to assess the security situation on the day of protest by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
The interior minister expressed his satisfaction at the security arrangements for the PTI’s protest rallies. He told the authorities to take all necessary measure to maintain the law and order in the country as per instructions of the Islamabad High Court (IHC). He said that police, Rangers and FC personnel were doing their duty efficiently.
Jailed former prime minister of Pakistan Imran Khan had directed his party leadership and workers to begin a protest movement on November 24 to push for his release from Adiala Jail where he has been incarcerated for more than one year now.
