\u201cWe are giving you only three minutes to disperse,\u201d said a senior cop who issued the order.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the press earlier on Monday, the officers stated categorically that they would defy any court order and march to the Prime Minister\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

The officers first assembled next to the High Court along the road to the Prime Minister\u2019s office discussing contents of the court order, one of the officers suggested that it must be read and analyzed to identify loopholes.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s first read and analyze the court order to ascertain some loopholes, we need to march by force and pass through these senior officers,\u201d said a police officer who was pointing at his superiors who were standing about fifty(50) metres away.<\/p>\n
