The Peshawar High Court has ordered the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government not to close highways in an attempt to stop participants of the Azadi March.

A two-member bench of the PHC said that the provincial government should not block any road till Attock with containers.

The high court also asked the participants of the march to remain peaceful.

A senior lawyer associated with the JUI-F had moved the PHC last week seeking orders for the government against creating hurdles on main highways in KP to the party’s Azadi March on Islamabad.

Additionally, while also hearing another petition, the court directed Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) to give the opposition as much time on television as it does to the government.
