PTI convoy reaches Lahore, plans major protest movement

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is gearing up to unveil its next phase of protest movement, with top party leadership arriving in Lahore to finalize the strategy.

According to sources, a convoy of senior PTI leaders, led by party chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, has reached Lahore.

The convoy includes key members of the PTI’s central leadership, as well as elected representatives from both the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies.

Ali Amin, along with his cabinet members, crossed the Ravi Bridge and proceeded towards Raiwind Road without holding the previously scheduled press conference. 

The convoy was warmly welcomed by party workers in Shahdara, where local supporters have arranged a reception.

PTI ticket-holder and senior party figure Yasir Gillani, who had arrived to welcome the convoy, was arrested by the police near Shahdara.

According to eyewitnesses, Gillani was taken into custody and transported in a police van to an undisclosed location.

Despite the setback, the PTI leadership continued with their itinerary.

A high-level joint session of PTI’s parliamentary parties from Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and the national assembly is scheduled to take place on Raiwind Road later this evening.

The meeting, chaired by PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, is expected to finalize the protest strategy that the party aims to launch in the coming days.

Party sources confirmed that a formal announcement of the protest campaign will be made in a press conference tomorrow, where details of the planned demonstrations, objectives, and nationwide mobilization will be shared.
