The federal government on Thursday filed a contempt of court plea against PTI Chairman Imran Khan in the Supreme Court over his long march call to Islamabad.
\nIn its petition, the federal government told the apex court that the PTI chief is making announcements of marching towards Islamabad, which was a violation of a court order.
\n\u201cImran Khan is making announcements to attack Islamabad,\u201d says the plea. It urged the Supreme Court to direct the PTI chief to ensure the implementation of its orders related to protests and sit-ins.
\nThe petition has been filed by the interior ministry on behalf of the federal government.
\nLast month, the PTI chairman issued a warning to Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and said that “he should be worried” because the PTI will be marching towards Islamabad with “full preparation” this time.
\nThe threat was issued by the PTI chief at a workers’ convention in the federal capital.
\nSince then the PTI chief has been asking his supporters to be prepared as he could give a call for the anti-government long march to Islamabad at any moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
