Azadi March: Govt to dig ditches around Islamabad to keep protesters out

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government has decided to dig trenches around the federal capital to block the forthcoming Azadi March of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), GNN reported.

According to the details, six feet wide and five feet deep ditches will be dug on 270 streets and small entrances around Islamabad to keep opposition protesters from entering the city.

The JUI-F, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Monday finalised their public mobilisation plan to join the long march to Islamabad via Rawalpindi.

The government is making efforts to compel the opposition parties to negotiate a political solution, and for the purpose, they had formed a four-member committee under Defence Minister Pervez Khan Khattak.

However, the opposition has refused to hold any talks with the government until Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan resigns.
