As per the court’s order, Rashid will be taken to Parliament under police escort on each session day between March 26 and April 4. After the conclusion of proceedings each day, he will be returned to jail.
The High Court also imposed strict restrictions on Rashid during his time in Parliament. He will not be allowed to use mobile phones, landlines, or interact with the media while attending the session.
