Awan faced day-long detention last month after he raised slogans at the mausoleum before the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) second power show at Karachi. A first information report (FIR) — registered against his wife Maryam Nawaz and some 200 others — said the suspects violated the sanctity of the Quaid’s mausoleum and his grave. The court on Tuesday adjourned the hearing till November 30 while directing the petitioner to come prepared to forward their arguments on the next hearing. “My complaint is that Safdar and his cohort violated the sanctity of the Quaid’s mausoleum and his grave. A case [should be] registered against him for raising political slogans inside the mausoleum complex, death threats against me and for damaging government property.”
