LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has approached the Lahore High Court (LHC) seeking permission to hold a rally at Minar-e-Pakistan.
Akmal Khan Bari, senior vice president of PTI Central Punjab, had earlier submitted a request to the Deputy Commissioner of Lahore for approval of the rally. However, the party has now escalated the matter by filing a new application with the LHC.
The petition, also submitted by Bari, names the Punjab government and the Deputy Commissioner of Lahore as respondents. PTI has highlighted that October 5 marks the birthday of party founder Imran Khan, and they are seeking permission to hold a rally at Minar-e-Pakistan in celebration.
The application assures that participants will fully comply with all legal regulations and SOPs during the event.
Notably, PTI recently held a rally at Kahana in Lahore, but it was abruptly halted with police cutting off microphones and lights just as the event was concluding.
