Lahore Additional Deputy Commissioner Atiyab Sultan on Wednesday wrote to PTI leaders recommending that former prime minister Imran Khan address the party's Lahore rally, scheduled for Thursday, virtually in light of "severe threat alerts".

Days after the ouster of the PTI government, the former ruling party kicked off a nationwide protest campaign from Peshawar on April 13, followed by a rally in Karachi on April 16. Both rallies saw a large number of people come out in support of Khan, who addressed these gatherings in person.

His next rally is due to be held tomorrow (April 21) at the Minar-i-Pakistan in Lahore.
In a notification issued by the Deputy Commissioner's Office today, Sultan wrote: "In light of severe threat alerts received from security agencies and as per latest intelligence assessment made at the district and provincial levels, it is recommended that ex-prime minister Imran Khan should address the public gathering virtually by video conference and LED display instead of making a physical appearance at Greater Iqbal Park, Lahore on 21-04-2022."

The letter, which is addressed to PTI Punjab president Shafqat Mahmood, PTI Lahore president Sheikh Imtiaz Mahmood, PTI Punjab general secretary Zubair Niazi and the organiser of the rally, Ali Warraich, requested them to take timely action to "avoid any untoward incident".

Responding to the letter, PTI Additional Secretary Information Hassan Khawar told that the party would not be discouraged through such tactics by the government.

"The government should not be worried by the PTI's campaign," Khawar said.
He said the PTI chairman would participate in the Lahore rally and the party would continue its campaign to connect with the people.

Earlier this month, then-information minister Fawad Chaudhry had said that a plot to assassinate Khan had been reported by security agencies.

"After these reports, the prime minister's security has been beefed up as per the government's decision," he had said at the time.

His statement had followed another PTI leader Faisal Vawda's claims that a conspiracy was being hatched to assassinate the then-prime minister over his refusal to "sell the country".
Government of Pakistan under PPP/PMLN itsself is planning to get rid of imran khan, laying the ground work that we warned him. They will get rid of him and will punt it on TTP as there is a escalation going on there. i can bet thats the dirty game bajwa and SS are planning to do.
 
Lahore is a lost cause, I don't know why this idiot wastiing time in Lahore. Lahore is shareef's castle and you can find 95% patwari there. Shareef did a good job in Lahore spent all punjab and federal budget there so don't waste time and move on. Pakistan is very big so do a jalsa in faisalabad or in Larkana.
 
looks fake. Her face has been photoshopped
Yeah it was a meme

Someone should stop him man- it's serious

I don't think that Lahore is a lost cause for PTI. In 2014 PTI had a huge and very successful rally at the Minar e Pakistan.

People will be coming from all the surrounding areas. Even in Lahore, you can't say that rivers of milk and honey are flowing. The expensive areas have been developed nicely, but the vast majority of people in Lahore live in slums in as much poverty and squalor as anywhere else in the country.

Funnily enough, most of PTI's support comes from better off, more educated people who live in nice neighborhoods.

So, I think that the Lahore jalsa will be as big as the one in Karachi, if not even bigger. Unless, the establishment thugs use terrorists or other crooked techniques to disrupt it.

Dr Moeed Pirzada shared interesting stats from 2018 election.
PTI got 800,000 votes while PMLN got 1,100,000 votes in Lahore. But PTI won only 1 out of 8 seats while PMLN 7 out of 8 seats. So it seems they were quite competitive but just did not cross over.

Hopefully this time around it is better.
