Amid huge protests being taken out against MQM’s rigging in the metropolis and Hyderabad, the Sindh government on Monday imposed section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in the city.
A notification in this regard had also been issued by the provincial government. Under this section no one would be allowed to carry weapons.
The imposition of the section means that PTI would not able to stage the protests scheduled in the city today (Tuesday) against alleged rigging in elections. The protests were due to be held at Shahrah-e-Faisal and at Teen Talwar Chowk.
JI also staged a sit-in earlier during the day at Sohrab Goth area of the metropolis against incidents of rigging, and blocked nearby roads in protest.
