An FIR has been registered against 2500 people on Sunday for violating coronavirus standard operating procedures (SOPs) during Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) workers’ convention in Faisalabad held on December 4.

According to details, the case was lodged against all participants at Sargodha Police Station. PML-N leaders Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Ahsan Iqbal, Rana Sanaullah, Awais Leghari, and others had participated in the convention.

The FIR was registered after Prime Minister Imran Khan, on Saturday, warned opposition parties that the government would not interrupt public gatherings of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) but legal action would be taken against organizers and facilitators of these gatherings as they were endangering the lives of people in the face of a sharp spike in coronavirus cases and deaths.
