Arrangements under way for PTI’s Lahore rally
Arrangements under way for PTI’s Lahore rally: Preparations are being made for a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rally on Jail Road today. The organisers have set up several chairs, a 20ftx50ft stage and are putting up a sound system. Sources said PTI chief Imran Khan is expected to address the gathering around 6pm today.
On Thursday, the deputy commissioner (DC) recommended the party leaders to hold their political gathering at an alternative venue than Jail Road.
The district administration said they would not give permission to block a main road of the city for an entire day, adding that they will give their full cooperation if the party decides to hold their gathering at any other venue.
Meanwhile, the PTI leadership reiterated that the party will hold its rally for the NA-120 by-election campaign at Jail Road, adding that the district administration should ensure appropriate security at the venue.
The NA-120 seat fell vacant after the disqualification of Nawaz Sharif as prime minister as a result of the Supreme Court verdict in the Panama Papers case on July 28.
A tough contest is expected between the PTI candidate Yasmin Rashid and Nawaz’s wife and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)’s Kulsoom Nawaz on September 17.
In light of the former first lady’s ongoing medical treatment in London, her daughter Maryam is spearheading the campaign in the constituency.
