Police make scores of arrests ahead of rally: MPA Aqeel arrested in Pattokhi: Gandapur is on his way to Lahore via MotorwayCaravans from around the country were on their way and supporters have started to reach the rally venue as the former ruling party – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf – was all set to demonstrate its power show in Lahore's Kahna area today amid foolproof security measures, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The administration late Friday night decided to put 42 party leaders under house arrest, while a letter was issued in which it was stated that five of these leaders namely Yasir Gilani, Malik Afzal, Fazal Khan, Amir Gilani and Fazal Dad would remain confined to their homes for 30 days.As the time for the PTI’s rally at Kahna, Lahore is getting closer, the Punjab police, too, have swung into action and launched a province-wide crackdown on the party workers and supporters.
Earlier, Sheikh had also issued a statement on social media in which he urged the PTI workers and supporters to attend the rally in large numbers.In Hafizabad too, police came down hard on the PTI leaders and workers and took 10 of them into custody. On the other hand, the road leading from the Ring Road to the venue has been closed for traffic by placing containers.
Meanwhile, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, while expressing his gratitude to the Lahore district administration for issuing NOC for the party’s rally at Kahna today, has appealed to it not to block roads and create other obstacles in the way of the participants of today’s power show. She said that the PTI workers had blocked roads and indulged in acts of arson. “Now when the government takes action against them, they will cry,” she said. Surprisingly, PTI workers in Peshawar did push-ups at the Chief Minister’s House to show their preparedness for the power show.On Friday, PTI received permission from the local administration to hold a rally at Kahna with a long list of SOPs.
Security of ladies and gentlemen enclosures, emergency exits, crowd avoidance/control measures and adequate parking will be ensured with the recruitment of private security and volunteers. No Afghan flag will be hoisted and no Afghan paid workforce will be brought to the rally. The rally organizers will nominate a focal person who will coordinate with the concerned Superintendent of Police and SP Traffic Police to ensure traffic and security arrangements at all points. The organizers will work closely with SP Model Town. All relevant security measures will be ensured at the rally. There will be administrative and security requirements for the gathering.
Containers will be placed by the organizers and by the District Police wherever required. As there is no permanent stage at Lahore Ring Road, Kahna, the stage should be set up with containers in collaboration with District Police.
