Court bars Imran, Qadri from holding march
2014-08-14
[ARABNEWS] A Pak court has restrained Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems...
and Tahirul-Qadri from launching a march on Islamabad in an unconstitutional way, a lawyer said.

The Lahore High Court's order came as authorities blocked almost every entry point to Islamabad, with more than 20,000 police and paramilitary forces deployed to try to thwart a major anti-government rally.

"Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI)and Pakistain Awami Tehrik (PAT)are restrained from launching a march/sit-in in Islamabad in any unconstitutional way keeping in view sensitivity of independence day and (the) current uncertain situation in the country," PTI's lawyer Ahmad Owais said in Lahore quoting from a short order by a three-judge panel headed by Justice Khalid Mehmood.

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan
...Currently the Interior Minister of Pakistain. He is the senior leader of the Pak Moslem League (N) and a close aide to Nawaz Uncle Fester Sharif. He is noted for his vocal anti-American railing in the National Assembly. However (comma) Khan told the U.S. ambassador that he was in fact pro-American but he and the PML-N would have to be critical of US actions in order to remain publicly credible. Khan cited his wife and children's US citizenship as proof, which means he's lying to one side or the other and probably both. He wears a wig, but you probably guessed that. since hair doesn't grow naturally in that shape or texture...
told a presser in Islamabad "the court's order will be fully implemented."

He added: "Any political party or a group which wants to hold a march should approach the concerned district administration for permission, which will decide if the the purpose of march is legal and constitutional."

Major roads were barricaded with shipping containers and police used excavators to dig up smaller roads in Islamabad, a day before two opposition protest marches are due to converge on the capital.
