KARACHI: The Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen (MWM) has rejected all restrictions against Azadari, arguing that the government has the right to ensure implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for prevention of Covid-19 but not to ban religious activities of any community particularly when there was no such bar on election campaigns for the recently held NA-249 seat.
