Following successful negotiations between the leadership of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Lahore district administration on late Sunday, the Imran Khan-led party has gotten approval to conduct an election rally in the provincial capital on Monday (today).
According to sources, the meeting was arranged on the instructions of Punjab caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Raza Naqvi.
During the meeting, the PTI leadership gave assurance to the Lahore administration and submitted an affidavit stating that the party leadership and workers will fully cooperate with the administration and security personnel.
The former ruling party also gave the authority its assurance that it would abide by the relevant law regarding the use of the sound system. The PTI agreed that speeches critical of the state's institutions and judiciary would not be permitted at the event.
The document stated that the PTI would be liable if any public property was harmed during the event.
On Sunday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan postponed the public rally till tomorrow due to the imposition of Section 144 in Lahore by the Punjab caretaker government.
In a tweet, Imran Khan said that the purpose of the imposition of Section 144 in the provincial capital is to lodge bogus cases against PTI leaders and workers and delay elections in Punjab. He urged the party workers ‘not to fall into this trap'. "Hence, we have postponed the rally till tomorrow," he announced.
The rally was scheduled to be held today as a part of the campaign for upcoming elections in Punjab.
On Saturday night, the Punjab caretaker government imposed Section 144 in Lahore once again to ‘halt the public rally’ of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which was scheduled to be led by party chairman Imran Khan at 2pm on Sunday (today).
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) approached the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to challenge Section 144 imposed in Lahore.
