Special Assistant to Punjab Chief Minister on Information Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan says the Punjab government decided not to give permission to the opposition parties to hold public gathering in the light of high threat alerts issued by District Intelligence Committee.

Addressing a news conference, she said that PML-N leadership is trying to provoke people through narrative aimed at creating chaos and unrest among the public.

She said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government would not act irresponsibly as PML-N government did in past with innocent people at Model Town.

She said all activities of opposition alliance would be monitored through cameras and in case of any violation the law would take its course.

Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said it is the responsibility of the government to implement court orders and to maintain law and order to ensure peaceful atmosphere.
