GUJRANWALA, Sept 25: The Election Commission on Saturday issued a code of conduct for by-election to constituency PP-93.

The candidates had been barred from holding public meeting on road or taking out procession by blocking traffic and criticizing each other above the moral norms. Political parties and their leaders would not deliver speeches against the integrity and solidarity of the country or defame army.

IJT RALLY: Activists of Islami Jamiat Talaba took out a protest procession against police for failing to arrest the killers of their leader.

They gathered at the Government College here on Saturday and later took out a procession led by Punjab IJT Nazim Nasarullah Khan Aulakh, divisional Nazim Qaiser Sharif and college president Khalid Mahmood Chahel. They were carrying banners and placards and chanting the slogans against police and government.

The participants paraded on Sialkot Road and GT Road and the procession terminated at the General Post Office near railway station.

They demanded the arrest of the killers of Naeem Bhatti who was murdered three years ago. They threatened that they would block roads if the killers were not arrested.

The court turned down police request and sent him on two weeks' judicial remand.
