As the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) gears up to hold “do-or-die” protest on November 24, the Ministry of Interior has begun geofencing Afghan refugee camps in Islamabad and other cities, sources said on Tuesday. Informed sources told Geo News that the ministry was mulling to cancel passports and identity cards and blocking the SIM cards of miscreants involved in the protest. Sources also claimed that a proposal suggesting cancelling academic certificates and admission of students, who are involved in perpetuating violence during protests, also came under consideration. Meanwhile, the interior ministry has begun surveillance of suspicious locations to address potential terrorist threats, instructing the security agencies to fully prepare ahead of the PTI’s demonstration. The ministry has also decided to take stringent action against those involved in “wrongdoings”. The authorities have also chalked out strict measures for the security of all public buildings in the federal capital, besides deploying a large number of security personnel in twin cities – Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
