A large number of citizens on Sunday participated in a rally organised by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) against the increase in the petrol prices. Citizens were shouting slogans against Pakistan People’s Party and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leaders and were demanding for withdrawal of the increase in the prices of the patrol.
Citizens were found condemning and shouting slogans at a rally that was started from the Defense Moar and was lead by PTI’s Lahore President Ahsan Rasheed and Information Coordinator Ishtiaq Malik. A number of Insaf Students Federation (ISF) activists and ISF female wing local office barriers were also present on the occasion.
Malik said PTI strongly condemned the recent announced prices of the petrol and diesel and the masses were dying of hunger. He said the whole nation was disappointed and instead of giving them relief, the government had given them the gift of increase in the prices. He said the nation, under the supervision of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, had awakened and PTI would change the whole system of corruption in which poor were committing suicide due to corruption of government officials. The rally ended in front of General Hospital where local leaders of the PTI also delivered speeches against the price hike in the patrol prices. On the other hand, membership campaign of the PTI was launched by the party while according to Imran, this was the biggest ever membership campaign of the country in which membership would be given to thousands.
