An application has been filed in the Islamabad High Court seeking an order to prevent the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protest scheduled for November 24 in Islamabad.
The petition, filed by Asad Aziz, President of the Jinnah Super Traders Association, through Advocate Rizwan Abbasi, requests the court to stop the protest organized by PTI under the leadership of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Chief Minister. The petition argues that the protest is creating the impression of an imminent attack on Islamabad.
Aziz emphasized that recent legislation regarding protests in Islamabad requires prior permission, and holding an unauthorized protest could signal lawlessness in the country. The petition calls for action from the Secretary of the Interior, Chief Commissioner, IG Islamabad, and PTI Chairman to prevent the protest.
The Interior Secretary, Chief Commissioner of Islamabad, IG Islamabad, and PTI Chairman have all been named as parties in the petition. The outcome of the petition will be pivotal in determining the legality and scale of the upcoming PTI protest.

Petition filed in Peshawar High Court against PTI’s protest
Separately, a petition has been filed in the Peshawar High Court seeking to stop Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) planned protest in Islamabad on November 24.
The petitioner criticized the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government for failing to fulfill its responsibilities, alleging that the protest call was made solely for the party's "nefarious purposes." The petition further claims that government machinery is being misused for political goals.
The petitioner also highlighted the recent detention of several government officials and personnel during a previous protest, suggesting that such actions undermine the government’s function.
