The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday denied the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf (PTI) permission to hold a public gathering at the mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam on December 25.

A two-member division bench of the SHC denied the permission in response to a petition filed by the PTI.

The court directed the party to contact concerned authorities to find an alternative venue to hold its public meeting.

PTI’s Sindh president Naeem ul Haq said the SHC order would be challenged in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
