The PTI rally in Lahore concluded on a disappointing note on Saturday, with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur unable to reach the site on time. As the scheduled time for the rally ended, the sound system was shut down and the lights at the venue were turned off. Police took
control of the stage, escorting PTI leaders off one by one using the light from their mobile phones.

Despite this, many PTI supporters left the venue as darkness fell, followed by party leadership. The stage set up at the rally site was also dismantled.
Several supporters of PTI started leaving the Kahna rally site on Saturday as the police took control of the stage and shut down the lights after the time allotted for the public gathering ended at 6pm.

There is neither democracy nor human rights are being protected. He said that the sovereignty of this country rests with the people after the Lord. The people proved on February 8 and today that they are not going to bend. Respects the constitution. Hamad Azhar added that the people will have to make the ruler of this country, this fake chief minister has lost the election, I heard that this government is going and a puppet is being prepared, but now only The people will come. On the other hand, PTI leader and jurist Latif Khosa said that there was an attempt to kill blood last week, when the 24th amendment could not be passed, the ordinance was issued. Latif Khosa said that Nawaz Sharif used to say. Respect the vote, do you respect the vote like that? He said that this form 47 government has been imposed on us, the country has been occupied, the founder PTI is adamant that they will bring freedom to the people. PTI leader Salman Akram Raja said that now is the time to be firm, we are facing a deceptive enemy, a court is being established through a constitutional amendment, we have to take to the streets and not accept coercion. He said that we are fighting a very cunning and cunning enemy, on February 8, you were deceived, your vote was stolen and a false government was installed. Now this false government has amended the constitution to hide its lies. wants to do, you have to fight against these amendments, it is a matter of destiny of this country, a false court is being established, we don’t believe it, we don’t believe Qazi Faiz Isa, we have told him that You are full of malice, you should go home on 26th October and not be a part of this black court. This black court has two objectives to ban PTI, and to take orders from this court. The second intention is to punish Imran Khan by military courts, because they have failed. All his cases by constitutional courts have failed, we want to punish Imran Khan in false cases by false court. We want to tell them that our anger will shake the streets of Pakistan. We tell them that we will fight them steadfastly, no one will be able to fight us, we have to go out on the fields and streets. We don’t accept anything, we have to free Imran Khan an hour and a half late, despite the city administration granting Imran Khan’s party a timeframe from 3pm to 6pm. Even so, leaders and supporters continued to arrive at the venue until the very end, with several leaders beginning their speeches during that time.
The venue for the PTI rally in Lahore’s Kahna Cattle Market was set up on Saturday, but the event started 1.5 hours later than scheduled. Leaders and supporters continued to arrive at the venue, with several leaders already beginning their speeches.
It was PTI’s second public gathering after the Sangjani rally on September 8. A heavy police presence has been deployed around the venue, with barbed wire also laid out along the Ring Road.
Meanwhile, the administration closed the Islamabad-Lahore motorway, effectively blocking access for convoys coming from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
While PTI leaders were delivering speeches, the administration blocked all entry points to Lahore at 6pm to prevent KP CM Gandapur from entering the city. Gandapur was en route to Lahore with a large number of supporters, accompanied by heavy machinery to remove obstacles.
Hamad Azhar was the first to speak at the rally, while the final address was delivered by PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar. Other speakers included Sheikh Waqas Akram, Faisal Javed, and several others who gave brief addresses.
According to the administration, efforts were under way to move the container back to the rally site. The presence of a stagnant pool of sewage behind the PTI rally site has complicated the delivery of the container to the stage area.
On Friday, police arrested “fugitive PTI workers” ahead of the rally as part of the crackdown on people allegedly involved in May 9 events.
Moreover, roads leading to the Kahna rally site have been blocked with containers.
On Raiwind Road, police stopped the vehicle of MPA Tarab Rashid Sindhu. When he presented his assembly membership card, the police allegedly confiscated it. After a heated discussion over the card not being returned, the police eventually allowed him to leave, and his vehicle proceeded toward Kahna.
Rashid expressed frustration, stating, “Police should tell me what my fault is. Despite showing my card, I was barely allowed to leave.”
The closure of the Islamabad-Lahore motorway has created difficulties for travellers heading to Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad, and the airport. Long queues of vehicles have formed at the motorway toll plaza, and routes to Lahore from KP have been blocked.
Law enforcement agencies and police have set up checkpoints at the N-5 bridge in Jorian, where all types of vehicles heading to Lahore are being stopped and checked. Police have established barriers on the bridge to prevent PTI supporters from reaching Lahore.
In Haripur, a convoy of hundreds of supporters led by Leader of Opposition in National Assembly Omar Ayub Khan has set off for the rally. The convoy includes provincial minister for local government Arshad Ayub Khan, former provincial minister Yousaf Ayub Khan, and MPA Akbar Ayub Khan.
Supporters chanted slogans demanding the release of PTI founder, “Free prisoner number 804,” as hundreds of PTI’s supporters from all three tehsils of Haripur headed to the rally in their vehicles.
A PTI convoy, led by party chairman Gohar Ali Khan, has set off from Rawalpindi to Lahore. The convoy, which includes leaders Amir Mughal and Shoaib Shaheen, will be taking the GT Road to Lahore due to blockages on the motorway.
Meanwhile, PTI workers gathered at the Peshawar Motorway Toll Plaza waiting for KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, who left the toll plaza in his vehicle without meeting them.
Preparations for the Lahore rally have been finalised in KP, with three special containers ready for the CM. Gandapur will lead the convoy, accompanied by heavy machinery to remove any obstacles along the way.
The convoys are set to depart from the M-1 motorway, gathering on the motorway before heading to Lahore under the chief minister’s leadership.
In Swabi, the chief minister would address PTI workers while convoys from other districts would join the central procession. Heavy machinery would accompany the convoys to remove any obstacles along the way, ensuring a smooth journey for the participants heading toward the Lahore rally.
The deadline for PTI’s Lahore power show expired and the lights were also switched off at the venue.
The DJ sound system was also plugged off as 6 PM deadline expired.
However, the party workers refused to leave the venue without listening the speeches of central leaders.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is demonstrating its public strength in Lahore’s Kahna area on Saturday.
The rallies from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, led by KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, were cruising along the M2 motorway from Islamabad towards Lahore.
A number of PTI workers from all over Punjab used motorway and GT Road to reach Lahore.
Considering the pace of the movement of rallies, it could be easily anticipated that the rally would not be able to finish at the time as per the SOPs provided by the deputy commissioner in Friday night.
The deputy commissioner notified that the rally must end before 6pm.
Meanwhile, preparations for the rally were completed. The stage has also been prepared and the sound system installed.
Supporters, carrying party banners and posters, reached the venue. Salman Akram Raja, Mian Azhar and other local leaders reached the venue amid reports of government efforts to place containers.
The district administration granted conditional permission for a rally at Ring Road’s Kahna area. The deputy commissioner has already issued the official notification.
The district administration has allowed the PTI to hold the rally from 3pm to 6pm.
According to the notification, organisers will be responsible to ensure security for both men’s and women’s enclosures, manage crowd control, and parking through private security and volunteers.
Additionally, the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is required to apologise for a speech he made on Sept 8 in Islamabad.
The notification stipulates that incoming groups from outside the city should not disrupt daily life. No slogans or statements against the state or institutions will be allowed during the rally according to the notification.
Furthermore, no absconders will be allowed to participate or appear on stage; failure to comply will result in legal action against the organisers.
Other conditions include a ban on displaying Afghan flags, appointing focal persons to liaise with local police, and cooperation with traffic police to establish a detailed traffic plan.
The organisers will also be responsible for setting up barbed wire along the Lahore Ring Road and Kahna to secure the area.
Additionally, entry with sticks or weapons is strictly prohibited. The use of fireworks and incendiary slogans is forbidden, and burning effigies or flags of any political or religious group will not be tolerated.
