PTI granted permission for rally after Nisar, Imran encounter
ISLAMABAD: The government on Friday granted ‘conditional permission’ to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf to hold its foundation day rally at F-9 Park on April 24, a day after Imran Khan and Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had a brief meeting while travelling to London via the same flight from Lahore.
The decision to grant the permission for rally was taken at a high level meeting at the Interior Ministry, according to Geo News.
However, the PTI has been informed that participants of the rally would be allowed to enter the venue from the Nine Avenue gate of the F-9 Park, while the party would also have to make some security arrangements.
The PTI would have to ensure no danda-wielding worker joins the rally, and would bear responsibility for any damage to public property.
Imran Khan on Thursday confirmed he had a meeting with Nisar Ali Khan on the plane en route to London and the minister had reservations about the PTI’s rally at the F-9 Park in Islamabad.
Khan said he told the interior minister that his party had no plan to enter the Red Zone and it would be only a day-long celebration.
Islamabad Administration
Meanwhile, Islamabad administration has refused to give PTI permission for rally at F-9 Park.
Deputy Commissioner (DC) has informed PTI in writing over refusal for rally.
According to the letter, security, free movement of public will be affected.
It added that section-144 has already been imposed in Islamabad under which rallies, public meeting are banned.
However, PTI leader Faisal Javed has said, “we will have our rally at F-9 at any cost and speeding up preparations for foundation day rally.”
