Pakistan is set to host the international event after several years that would be attended by over a dozen head of states. More than 900 foreign delegations including 200 international journalists would be present in the federal capital for the SCO summit.
It is being feared that the protest of PTI in Islamabad at the time of SCO summit may affect the diplomatic relations of Pakistan.
Official circles are wary of the motives of PTI which seems bent on sabotaging the all-important SCO.
There is already Section 144 in place in Rawalpindi and Islamabad and any such move will be a violation.
