PTI cannot be allowed to hold public rally in Karachi over security threats, SHC told

PTI rally SHC security concerns

KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday summoned a report regarding threats and not allowing PTI to hold a public rally in Karachi.

A petition for contempt of court has been filed against the deputy commissioner East and the SSP for refusing to grant permission for a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rally.

During the proceedings, Justice Yusuf Ali Saeed questioned the rationale behind denying PTI’s rally permission. “What is the issue? Why is PTI not being allowed to hold its rally?” he asked.

The deputy commissioner East attributed the denial to a lack of security clearance, stating, “The security clearance has not been provided.”

Justice Saeed inquired further, “Who is responsible for granting the security clearance? Why is there a security issue in Karachi? Are no other political parties allowed to hold rallies?”

The court suggested that if security concerns are so severe, a blanket ban on all rallies and processions in the city might be warranted.

The deputy commissioner argued that PTI cannot be given place anywhere in Karachi for public rally due to security threats. The SHC has demanded the minutes of meetings where security threats were assessed.

The PTI’s legal counsel requested a reconsideration of their new application for the rally scheduled on October 7. The court has directed the Deputy Commissioner to review the application and submit a report.

The hearing has been postponed until October 2.

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...
