ISLAMABAD, May 26(ABC): The federal government on Thursday filed a contempt of court plea against PTI Chairman Imran Khan in the Supreme Court (SC) over violation of the apex court’s orders during PTI’s ‘Azadi March’.

The move came after the PTI openly defied the SC’s directives, announcing to hold a rally at D-Chowk in Islamabad’s prohibited Red Zone.

The SC accepted the plea for a hearing and formed a larger bench to look into the matter.

The petition has been scheduled for hearing at 11:30 am.
