PESHAWAR: PTI Chairman Imran Khan Wednesday said the party would announce its next march after the Supreme Court’s ruling on the plea seeking clarity on whether the party can hold public gatherings. 

Addressing social media workers in Peshawar, the former prime minister said that the party wants protection from the court and its case is pending. 

“I ask the Supreme Court if we have the fundamental right to protest,” said Khan.

Khan said that he will announce the new dates for the long march after the top court’s verdict. 

“Our planning was not right for the first march but this time the party will come prepared.” 

Talking about the march, the former premier said: “The media coverage of the whole march was carried out under difficult circumstances and people were shelled brutally,” adding that “shells that are thrown at the terrorists were thrown at the protesters.”

He said that the country is going through a crucial time. “I am fighting this war for the future generations. If we fail, your children will have to fight this war.”

By changing the rules governing passports, the government made the application procedure easier and eliminated the need for address-based issuance.

According to the recently released memoranda, the requirement that applicants apply for a passport exclusively from the address listed on their National Identity Card has been lifted, allowing individuals to apply from any place in Pakistan.

It is anticipated that this modification will significantly alleviate the delays and complexities that nationals previously experienced as a result of jurisdictional limits.

Nationally, regional passport offices have been informed of the revised regulations. With the new regulation, citizens will have more freedom and accessibility as they are no longer limited to applying within certain parameters.

According to the Director General of Passports, the adjustment was proposed in order to alleviate the challenges that the public was facing. “The citizens will now be eligible to apply for a passport from any city in Pakistan, streamlining the process and improving accessibility across the board” , said the top government official.
