Section 144 was already imposed, says interior minister

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Thursday warned the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) not to stage any protest in Islamabad amid high-profile visits in the capital.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the interior minister said that section 144 was already imposed and stern action would be taken in case of any violation.

According to Naqvi, no one would be allowed to march on Islamabad by force in the name of political protest.

He said the Malaysian Prime Minister is in the capital for a three-day official visit, while the arrival of a high-level Saudi delegation and the Prime Minister of China is also scheduled this month.

He added that the conferences of international level are being held in Pakistan after a long time and PTI should call off the protest plan.

It is prime responsibility of the state of Pakistan to provide foolproof security to foreign guests and no compromise will be made in this regard.

The interior minister said every Pakistani should refrain from doing anything which can bring a bad name to the country.

He said all necessary security measures have been taken, including the additional troops of paramilitary forces, such as Rangers, FC, and the army.
