Advocate MH Mujahid on Friday filed a petition in Supreme Court’s Lahore registry seeking a ban on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT).
In his plea, the petitioner contended that the protests being staged by PAT and PTI were adversely affecting the movement of Islamabad’s residents and sought a ban on both political parties under Article 17 of the Constitution.
Article 17 of the Constitution relates to freedom of association and states that “every citizen shall have the right to form associations or unions, subject to any reasonable restrictions imposed by law in the interest of sovereignty or integrity of Pakistan, public order or morality”.
