As demonstrations were held in Islamabad, Minister of State for Interior Tallal Chaudhry said Section 144 would be strictly enforced in both Islamabad and Rawalpindi, where PTI has planned protests, Dawn reported.
He warned that “whether they come to the Islamabad High Court (IHC) or the Adiala jail, action under Section 144 would be carried out without any discrimination,” urging PTI-backed lawmakers to “abide by the law.”
Over the past few weeks, there have been growing speculations about the condition of 73-year-old Khan, whom his family alleges is being kept in solitary confinement at the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.
Khan’s family members have repeatedly alleged that they are unable to meet him for several weeks, despite court orders granting them permission.
“Not knowing whether your father is safe, injured or even alive is a form of psychological torture,” Khan told Reuters.
According to Express Tribune, Khan’s another sister Aleema Khan, on Tuesday, filed a contempt of court petition against the Adiala Jail authorities for allegedly defying a binding IHC order that permits meetings with him.
