PTI postpones rally: Hammad Azhar

Lahore: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Hammad Azhar Sunday said the party rally for election campaign had been postponed, GNN reported.

According to the details, he said the rally can take place tomorrow or later.

PTI chairman Imran reacting about the postponement of the rally said: “It seems again Sec 144 has been imposed illegally solely on PTI election campaign,” adding that as all other public activities are ongoing in Lahore.

Imran turned to Twitter and wrote: “Only Zaman Park has been surrounded by containers & heavy police contingent”.

Clearly, like March 8, Punjab Chief Minister Mohsin Raza Naqvi and police want to provoke clashes to file more sham First Information Reports (FIRs) against PTI leadership and workers, Imran Khan said adding that they want to use as pretext for postponing elections.

PTI chairman raised question that election schedule has been announced so how can Section 144 be imposed on political activity?

He alerted all PTI workers to fall into this trap, adding that the rally has been postponed till tomorrow.

It seems again Sec 144 has been imposed illegally solely on PTI election campaign as all other public activities are ongoing in Lahore. Only Zaman Park has been surrounded by containers & heavy police contingent. Clearly, like 8 March, Punjab CM & police want to provoke clashes
