IHC Orders End to Protests in Islamabad, Crackdown Expected Today

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) ordered on Thursday the religious parties to end their sit-in at Faizabad Interchange of the capital.

Two major religious parties had blocked major routes between Islamabad and Rawalpindi for last 10 ten days in protest against the government’s change, and then reversal, of the finality of Prophethood oath for lawmakers.

Hearing the petition filed by Maulana Allah Wasaya against the amendments to the clauses related to the finality of Prophethood in the Elections Act, 2017, Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui remarked that the petition will be taken up on the condition of ending the sit-in.

He directed the petitioner’s counsel to abide by the law and end the sit-in so that the public’s miseries can end. The judge observed further that the young, elderly, employees, and students are being adversely affected due to the protest.

The petitioner’s counsel wants the government to make public the report of the inquiry committee headed by Senator Raja Zafarul Haq.

During the hearing, the judge also observed that if a good deed is carried out wrongly, then it becomes a wrong act.

He also ordered the petitioner’s counsel to apologize for the scandalous remarks reportedly ushered against the chief justice of Pakistan at the protest.

The hearing was then adjourned until November 29.

Crackdown against Protesters Expected Today

As the mobile coverage surrounding the Faizabad Interchange has just been blocked, the roads and streets leading to the area are blocked by heavy containers. With massive deployment of law enforcement agencies, crackdown on the sit-in is likely today.

Talal Chaudhary, State Minister for Interior, had confirmed yesterday that an action is likely within the next 24 hours if religious parties don’t back off from the sit-in that’s blocking the commute of several million people in the twin cities.

Religious parties, for their part, are asking the government to name the person who had proposed the changes in oath related to the finality of Prophethood in the Elections Act, 2017.

In case of a crackdown, however, a severe backlash is expected.

  • Well, Justice Shaukat comments on Dharna of religious parties but no instructions to Govt., i think he must asked the Govt to provide the committee report to get the facts and decision finalize on it’s basis.
    Culprit must hang to death, as it’s a religious matter, Justice must see upon the consequences in case of clash btw sit-in protesters and govt/KPK Police/FC/Rangers.

  • All the people that are against this protest, just tell me one thing. What if there is an official statement that says that “Mr. Jinnah was not the ultimate leader of Independence Movement of Pakistan”. What will be your reaction after reading this statement?? You will be exhausted and will definitely hate the person who let this statement be passed. Now map this condition to the current scenario. Is it wrong to ask the culprits who did this nonsense Although it has been replaced but is this the standard of the official works that they don`t even know the consequences of the actions. I know people are facing difficulties because of this blockage but The demands of the protesters are totally genuine and govt should take actions against the culprits.
