Protesters and those who aren’t concerned about the situation are reportedly barred from entering the red zone. More than a dozen law enforcement organizations will be stationed in a perimeter surrounding the red zone.
Pakistan’s interior minister warned PTI on Wednesday that anybody who tries to enter the “red zone” would face “severe action,” along with Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb.
When asked about Khan and Fawad Chaudhry’s plans to create havoc outside the election commission, the interior minister revealed that the coalition government had “received reports” and had discovered statements they had made about doing so in the name of protest.
“They should keep in mind that Islamabad High Court limits on conducting rallies in Red Zone,” he said. “They might target the election commission.”
