The Islamabad district administration had formally rejected Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) application seeking permission to hold a public rally against the “massive rigging” in February 8 polls, post-poll result manipulations, and “deviation from the Constitution” in Islamabad on March 30, citing “law and order situation”.
The former ruling party had moved the court alleging that the capital city administering was unresponsive to their request and sought its order in this regard.
