According to Radio Pakistan, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has visited the Red Zone, Diplomatic Enclave, and other areas to review the law and order situation in the federal capital. During his visit, he inspected the security arrangements and directed authorities to ensure foolproof security in the Diplomatic Enclave. Mohsin Naqvi said peaceful protest is everyone's right.
