All private schools in Islamabad to remain closed on Thursday

All private schools in Islamabad are announced to remain closed tomorrow (Thursday).

Private Schools Association’s president stated that the decision to reopen the schools will be taken in light of the developing situation.

According to sources, IG Islamabad also visited the allotment of Azadi March and reviewed the security arrangements.

The IG also met with the organizers of the Azadi March rally and assured them of providing foolproof security, sources said.

The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl’s (JUI-F) Azadi March caravan reached Lahore on Tuesday from where it will make its way to Rawalpindi.

After arriving in Multan on Tuesday, the caravan made its way to Lahore.

A large crowd of supporters of Maulana Fazlur Rehman joined their leader and chanted slogans against the government.

Addressing his supporters, Fazl said JUI-F was going to Islamabad to announce that the incumbent rulers were fake.

“Government should resign before we reach Islamabad,” he said.

“This government does not have any mandate,” he said. “The mandate can be seen in this march,” the JUI-F chief added.

On Saturday, the Rahbar Committee and the government reached an agreement according to which the opposition agreed not to cross into the Red Zone.
