LHC to hear petition against JUI-F's Azadi March.

Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday has fixed petition against Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl's (JUI-F) anti-government protest 'Azadi March' for hearing.

The plaintiff has adopted the stance that constitutional government cannot be dissolved before completing its five year tenure. JUI-F Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has formed private army for protecting his Azadi March , the plea claimed.

The petitioner further demanded the court to take up the case and stop JUI-F activists' private army from holding illegal sit-in in the federal capital, Islamabad.

Earlier, JUI-F had canceled meeting with government committee that was due to be held on Sunday (October 20) for discussion on the anti-government march. Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that Rahbar Committee of the opposition will take final decision regarding negotiation with the incumbent government during its session on October 22.
