ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has departed from his Zaman Park residence for Islamabad to appear before courts in different cases.
The former prime minister is expected to appear at the Islamabad High Court and Judicial Complex in the federal capital.
The PTI chief will appear in IHC to seek bail in seven cases registered against him following the vandalism at the judicial complex during his last visit. Multiple cases were registered against the former prime minister at Islamabad’s Ramna, CTD and Golra police stations.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), hours before the PTI’s chief’s departure, imposed a ban on the live and recorded coverage of rallies, public gatherings and processions by any party, organisation and individual being held in Islamabad today.
The regulator said that it was imposing the ban as the vandalism during the PTI chief’s last appearance at the judicial complex had “created chaos and panic” among the viewers and police.
PEMRA said the airing of such content was a violation of the Supreme Court judgment in a suo motu case and rules of the regulator. It warned that the license of TV channels airing such content will be suspended in case of non-compliance.
