In a tweet, it called on protesters are to not set fire to vehicles.

It also called upon the authorities in Rawalpindi — which falls under the PTI-allied PML-Q provincial government — to stop the pelting of stones.

“Rawalpindi authorities have been repeatedly requested to stop the stone pelting on behalf of Rawalpindi,” it said. “Stone pelting in the presence of public representatives is a sad thing.”
