Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah speaks to reporters ahead of PTI’s long march in Islamabad on Friday.

Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that the government will deal long march participants with an iron hand and take “strict action” if they attempt to break the law and create a law and order situation in the capital.

Speaking to reporters in Islamabad, the minister said the Supreme Court’s orders regarding the protest were clear. “If protesters abide by the law, we will facilitate them,” he added.

He said the democracy will be rendered meaningless if “mob culture” continued to grow in the country.
