ISLAMABAD: Learning from the incidence of violence by right-wing activists during Aurat March last year, the authorities were able to manage strict discipline on International Women’s Day on
Monday through the use of administrative powers, sources in the Ministry of Interior said.
“Strict guidelines were issued to the capital administration to restrict troublemakers and participants of the women day rallies not only within limits but away from each other, “ a senior official of the ministry added.
Two separate marches were held in the federal capital, one by the largely left-wing alliance led by Women Democratic Front (WDF) and Awami Workers Party (AWP) from the National Press Club to D-Chowk.
