After receiving severe threat alerts from intelligence agencies, Lahore Deputy Commissioner has stopped former premier Imran Khan to appear physically at the PTI’s Lahore rally tomorrow.

According to the report, the DC Lahore office has written a letter to the PTI leadership on the matter and suggested Imran Khan address the PTI rally at Minar-e-Pakistan virtually (by video link).

In the letter, it is stated that due to severe security concerns at the Minar-e-Pakistan rally, PTI Chairman Imran Khan should address this through a video link, and not go to the meeting place.

It is to be noted that after Peshawar and Karachi, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is going to hold a big public meeting at Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore for which preparations are in the final stages.

Yesterday, PTI Chairman Imran Khan released a video message for the Minar-e-Pakistan rally and said he invite all Pakistanis to participate in his struggle.

Pertinent to mention here that in the DC Office letter, it is stated, “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 April 2022. It is requested that timely and effective action on the above is ensured to avoid any untoward incident.”
