“For protection of constitutional buildings, the government has determined how to engage military to keep protesters away from these offices on November 30,” Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar said, while addressing the media in Islamabad on Thursday.
“We will not allow them [protesters] to enter the Red Zone. Nobody will be allowed to take laws into his hands,” he affirmed.
Claiming that the PTI has sought permission from the district administration to hold a rally at D-Chowk, Nisar said, “We will decide tomorrow whether to allow them to hold a rally at their proposed place or not.”
Censuring PTI chairman Imran Khan’s rallies, the interior minister claimed more than Rs1 billion have been spent on law enforcement agencies performing duties in Islamabad owing to the ongoing sit-ins.
Responding to a question regarding expected violence on the day of the rally, Nisar said the government will limit terrorism on November 30 by PTI workers.

@Asad: Nonsensical dharnas of a sore loser have wasted billions of rupees and scared away investment and you would censure an elected government from protecting state buildings? It seems there is no limit to the self justified actions of PTI trolls who think they are above the law. People see PTI for what it is: nothing but the frustration of a sore loser who will do anything to seize power illegally.
Just use tear-gas and water cannons on the PTI anarchists and be done with it.
If you cannot handle political issues then handover government to military. Poor PMLn
State institutions must be protected from PML(N) looting
@ Ch. Nisar, If anarchists succeed in damaging government buildings and injuring security forces as they did last time then better resign and go home. Let them have a peaceful rally but not more than that. Teach them a historical lesson if they become violent.
Yes. State institutions must be protected from PML(N).
Public awareness is on peak as how politicians 'do' in this country. How elections are engineered and how public money is looted. This is Imran Khan or any body else, people are not ready to go with this state of cheating in elections and plundering with public money. Nawaz govt. has to go.
