The provincial government has imposed Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) in Karachi’s Red Zone on Sunday just hours ahead of the march to the Chief Minister’s House,
As per the imposed section of law, the assembly of more than 4 people in an area is prohibited.
PSP Chairman Mustafa Kamal had said on Saturday that it is likely that the march would be attended by “one million” people.
The rally, expected to move from the FTC building on Shahrah-e-Faisal was to protest against the ‘poor governance’ of the PPP government in Sindh, it had been announced.
Kamal had previously criticised the government role during the party’s 18 day sit-in outside the Karachi Press Club. He said that the government did not try to resolve issues, instead it tried to “befool people,” he had said at a press conference on Saturday.
At the time, Kamal had said that the city’s Red Zone where the Governor House, CM House, Sindh Assembly are located are not a sacrosanct place where people could not lodge their protest.
