The Islamabad Police has raided the PTI’s (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf) rally venue, removing the stage containers, barbed wire, and other equipment.
This action came after the Chief Commissioner of Islamabad canceled the NOC (No-Objection Certificate) for the PTI’s rally. The police stated that since the NOC had been canceled, the venue was being cleared.
The Islamabad administration has said that no arrests have been made so far, but strict legal action will be taken if anyone tries to take the law into their own hands.
On the other hand, the PTI has decided to go ahead with the rally despite the NOC being canceled. PTI leader Umar Ayub said they are making preparations and the rally will be held no matter what.
He alleged that the current government is panicking and trying to block the path of a popular political party.
