The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is planning to hold a massive rally in the city, featuring its chief Nawaz Sharif towards the end of its campaign.
Initially, the party was weighing two options, either to hold a public meeting at Minar-e-Pakistan or leading a rally, presenting Nawaz Sharif in the city.
However, security concerns had halted party strategists from finalising Minar-e-Pakistan as a venue for a meeting. After Punjab government’s decision to ban public meetings at the said venue, the party finally decided go for a public rally in the city with Nawaz Sharif at the forefront.
Party sources said the rally would be held any time after the start of May. But others in the party think the right time would be towards the end of the campaign with Nawaz wrapping it up, briefly touching all constituencies.
Imran Khan has already set the tone of his election campaign by initiating PTI’s campaign with a rally in Lahore, taking a round of the entire city almost.
Nawaz Sharif too, is contesting from the city. His daughter Mariyam Nawaz is mainly looking after his campaign though for now the PML-N chieftain is keeping a low profile in the city, focusing instead on the nation-wide election campaign.
