He said the DC had not made a decision even after several days passed.

The counsel argued that the Constitution guarantees every political party a complete freedom to hold meetings, processions, and rallies.

He alleged that the PTI’s political activities were being hindered while other political and religious parties were given full freedom to hold meetings, processions, and rallies. He asked the court to order the DC to grant permission for the convention.
