Speaking to the media in Islamabad, he said that both the PTI and PAT had applied for permission to hold rallies in Islamabad which was proof of their sense of their responsibility. However, he revealed that both parties had agreed in principle that they will not enter the Red Zone. He added that Red Zone was actually a red line that should not be crossed.
The interior minister added that according to intelligence reports two suicide bombers had entered the capital, adding that the capital administration had laid a security cordon around the rallies and had asked the rally organisers to cooperate with the security agencies.
He informed media persons that additional enforcement has been summoned from Azad Kashmir to avoid any unfortunate incident and and that they were establishing a security cordon around the participants of the marches.
The interior minister added that the government will not intervene in any democratic or political activity in the country. But he lamented how marchers did not pay any heed to the IDPs with the nation engaged in an operation against terrorists.

Chaudhry Sahab, If you have so much information then why don’t you catch them? What are you waiting for?
Rap47: If anything happens to people on the streets Imran Khan should be held responsible.
No it shouldn't! What are you talking about? It is the responsibility of the Pakistani govt to provide security to all civilians as long as they are with in Pakistan. Its the 'Shareef' govt that has started the operation against the Taliban and thus they should protect all civilian from any counter attacks that they face.
Not one person, but specifically two attackers. And they were not in the capital. They have come from outside, and have now entered.
That's very specific info. Must have a really good source!
Unfortunate that Ch. Nisar had no such intelligence when KHI airport was being attacked.
Why were they allowed to enter? Why were they not captured?
All those government officials or politicians who have facilitated these anarchists to reach Islamabad have committed a very serious crime. I can bet that these anarchists will create law and order situation which will end in imposition of Martial Law.
....... And economic suicide bombers are still ruling & bombing the general masses. Peaces
@rap47: Why would Imran Khan be responsible? Protesting is his and PTI's democratic right. To provide security to the citizens of Pakistan is the responsibility of the state, and we all know they have failed repeatedly at that.
That just sounds..........desperate.
IK and Padri is risking the life of thousands innocent people just for their power hunger causes.
@rap47: Nawaz should be responsible
Well two suicide bombers who want to bomb the constitution namely Imran Khan and Tahir ul Qadri have indeed entered Islamabad. Residents of Islamabad should keep a close eye of these suspicious characters who can go to any length to achieve their nefarious goals..
Nisar should know...after all PMLN is allied with ASWJ/SSP.
Its time the failed march of the frustrated Politician IK should come to an end to avoid embarrassment and for the security of the few thousand gullible people who attended it.
Its amazing how he doesn't get similar info anytime else besides this event.
This govt. lies and tries to scare people so much its almost laughable.
Wish Nisar had similar intelligence in past also before all the suicide attacks. Or is it just a scare tactic ?
If anything happens to people on the streets Imran Khan should be held responsible
