After the cancelation of NOC, the Islamabad Police on Saturday morning stormed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rally venue, removing the stage containers, barbed wire, and other equipment.
Earlier, on Friday evening the Chief Commissioner of Islamabad canceled the NOC for the PTI’s rally over security concerns.
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.
According to the Islamabad administration, the decision to suspend the NOC was made to ensure the safety and security of the citizens, considering the Muharram-related security concerns.
A meeting chaired by the Chief Commissioner of Islamabad was held, where the decision to cancel the NOC for the rally was made.
