Pakistan government announced the implementation of Section 144 in Rawalpindi district. This step was taken when rumors regarding the health and presence of former Prime Minister Imran Khan intensified. The administration feared that their party PTI might protest on a large scale across the country. In view of this, every type of crowd and gathering has been banned from 1st to 3rd December.
In the orders issued by District Deputy Commissioner Dr. Hasan Waqar Cheema, it has been clearly stated that no crowd will be allowed to gather in any form during these three days. The administration also made it clear that carrying weapons, roaming around with sticks or any kind of inflammable material, trying to remove police barricades and playing loud speakers will be completely prohibited. There is a ban on even seating of two people on a motorcycle. The government says that they have received confidential inputs which indicate violence and chaos.
PTI complaint
Imran Khan is lodged in Adiala jail since August last year. His party alleges that they have neither been allowed to see their leader for more than a month, nor are they being made to talk to him in any verified manner. PTI leaders claim that the government is hiding their condition and that is why the party was preparing for a massive peaceful demonstration, but the administration has already tried to control the situation by banning any kind of rally or meeting.
Statement of Imran Khan’s son
Qasim Khan, who lives abroad, expressed deep concern while speaking to Reuters. He said that there has been no contact with his father for months, nor has the family received any reliable information about him. According to Qasim, this situation has become like mental torture for the family. He alleged that the jail administration is not allowing the meeting despite the orders of the High Court and he fears that the situation has become very serious.
Why is the administration afraid? Intelligence report increased concern
The report of the district intelligence committee has indicated that some groups may try to take the protests to sensitive locations belonging to the army. After this warning, the government has clarified that Section 144 is necessary to prevent any untoward situation and maintain public safety. In view of the recent political situation, the administration does not want to take any risk.
The journey from a legendary captain to a jail cell
Imran Khan, who made Pakistan the champion in the Cricket World Cup 1992, later became the Prime Minister and remained in power from 2018 to 2022. Many cases are going on against him since last year, in which he was also sentenced. Khan says that all the cases are an act of political vendetta, but now the questions being raised about his condition in jail have added a new twist to the politics of Pakistan.
