It may be mentioned here that the traders of Islamabad had petitioned the high court seeking direction for checking repeated protests due to which their businesses were badly affected.
The government told the court that the PTI had not even submitted an application seeking permission for the protest. The high court ordered the Interior Minister to ensure that no party holds a rally without permission.
The court also directed the government to ensure safety of the life and property of the public.
On the other hand, the government closed all motorways on Friday night and blocked main roads to Islamabad by putting containers.
