Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday moved Lahore High Court (LHC) to hold public rally at Minar-e-Pakistan on April 22. The petition seeking to hold public rally was moved by PTI leader Akmal Khan Bari. Lahore Deputy Commissioner has been made respondent in the petition. The petitioner prayed before the court that he had moved a similar petition to hold rally on March 22.
He said that the verdict was announced without giving PTI a chance to narrate its version. "We couldn’t hold rally on March 22 due to the delaying tactics of deputy commissioner, said the petitioner. The petitioner prayed before the court to direct the officials concerned to allow PTI to hold rally on April 22. Earlier, the Punjab government had rejected PTI’s request for a rally at Minar-e-Pakistan on March 22.
