LAHORE: Six women \u2018activists\u2019 approached the Lahore High Court on Monday with a request to \u2018regulate\u2019 forthcoming Aurat March to ensure implementation of Citizen Protection (Against Online Harm) Rules, 2020.<\/p>\n

Chief Justice Mamoon Rashid Sheikh is set to resume on Tuesday (today) hearing on main petition against the march moved by Advocate Azhar Siddique.<\/p>\n

On last hearing, senior lawyer Hina Jillani had appeared before the court in defence of the participants in the march and questioned the maintainability of the petition. The police ordered to submit a report on security to be provided to the marchers and on law and order situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the previous Aurat March is taken into account, it can clearly be observed that the so-called march is nothing but an anti-state activity aimed at tarnishing dignity of women and tarnishing the image of Islam,\u201d said the women in a civil miscellaneous application they filed through Advocate Siddique to become party in the pending main petition.<\/p>\n
