It is to be mentioned here that the alliance of the opposition parties from the platform of the PDM is set to hold protest outside the ECP’s office tomorrow. The government has announced not to stop PDM from protest but warned that the law will take its course, if the writ of the state was challenged.
According to sources the PTI-led government has decided to deploy 1,000 security personnel for the protest.
“The red zone will remain a container-free zone and the PDM will not be allowed to setup a stage for their protest,” sources said adding that it was further suggested that the opposition should not be allowed to bring tents and loudspeakers with them.
