A notification in this regard was issued by the District Coordination Officer Zahid Saleem Gondal.
Section 144 bans a gathering of more than four people at one place for rallies and protests and also bans carrying weapons.
Multan is considered a PTI stronghold as both PTI president Javed Hashmi and PTI vice chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi hail from the area.
On Thursday, Multan police had registered a First Investigation Report against 18 nominated and 50 unknown people for an attack on Qureshi’s residence.
Alleged members of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz led by their district president Bilal Butt threw stones at Qureshi's house in reaction to the ongoing sit-in staged by the party in the federal capital.
The PTI and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) supporters continue their sit-in in Islamabad, promising to continue their protest until Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resigns.

Some days ago when PMLN workers attacked many houses in Multan then where was the police administration that time? PMLN is infact a dictatorship and nothing else.
Banning public gatherings of 4 or more people is a clear violation of basic rights of the citizens. This is not democracy but autocracy. And i would prefer military autocracy rathen than a family govt.
