Summary The government has steeped low to halt Azadi March, says PTI lawyers
Lahore (Dunya News) – Justice Khalid Mehmood Khan of the Lahore High Court (LHC) excused himself from the hearing of petitions filed against the closure of petrol pumps and blockage of roads by containers today (Monday).
Lawyers of Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) told the court that the government is using dirty tactics to sabotage the Azadi March. They further informed the court that the petrol pumps are being forcibly closed whereas the roads are being sealed by placing containers at the thoroughfares to which the court remarked that to gather and protest is the due right of the citizens but instilling aggression in the masses shall not be allowed no matter what.
Justice Khalid Mehmood Khan said that no sane person would appreciate Tahirul Qadri’s provocative speech.
The way media gave coverage to the TuQ’s speech is surprising, he added. Honourable justice further remarked that our existence depends on the existence of this country.
Justice Khalid Mehmood excused from the hearing of the petition and forwarded it to the chief justice of the Lahore High Court.
