In a civil miscellaneous application filed through Asma Jehangir, MQM submitted that Altaf Hussain was head of a big political party and the ban imposed on broadcast and publication of Altaf Hussain's activities was in violation of fundamental rights. The party pleaded the court to review its orders.
It is pertinent to mention that a LHC full bench had ordered complete blackout of Altaf Hussain activities while hearing three identical petitions for proceedings against Altaf Hussain under Article 6 of the Constitution, on September 7.
