Summary PTI would have to clearly state its agenda of the November 30 rally, says Nisar

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan on Wednesday has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) would have to ask the district administration for its permission to hold a rally on November 30.

Nisar expressed these views in a press conference in Islamabad.

He said that the district administration would contact PTI to decide about the venue and roads that the participants can take to reach the venue.

Interior Minister said that the administration would decide for PTI that which place is optimum to hold a rally.

Nisar also said that demonstration of a protest is every party’s right and the government would not interfere in the matter.

He warned that the government is ready to handle the people who wish to damage the property of the state under the tag of ‘peaceful protest’ and that nobody would be allowed to disrupt the peace of the capital.

He said that if PTI wants to attack the government then the law would not wait for November 30 to act against the party.

Nisar said that PTI would have to clearly state its agenda of the November 30 rally.

He also said that the government could call the army troops back on short notice whenever they want.

He also said that the forensic report of the two persons who died on August 31 have also been finalised, adding that police did not have weaponry on that day.

He said that one person received a bullet in foot which was directed towards head while the other person was shot in stomach from point blank range.

The Interior Minister claimed that PTI chairman Imran Khan thinks that anybody who disagrees with his views is a lair.

He further said that PTI abandoned veteran politician Javed Hashmi only because he did not agree with Khan.

Nisar urged the ‘sit-ins’ leadership’ to stop blackmailing the government, adding that the government is not so weak.

He further said that the government would not step aside from what the law and the legislation states.
