Earlier, the Jamiat Ulema-e Islam – Fazal (JUI-F) members in Islamabad tore down the Aurat March posters on Sunday, following the party’s leader Maulanan Fazl-ur-Rehman’s call to stop Aurat March 2020, by hook or by crook. Moreover, on February 22, Aurat March organisers were dismayed to find that murals set up in Lahore for the upcoming rally on the 8th of March were torn down by unknown people.
