Supporters of the Pakistan Muslim League–Nawaz (PML-N) on Sunday allegedly torched hoardings of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) hours before PTI Chairman Imran Khan is due to address a rally in Gujranwala.
According to TV reports, PML-N supporters have also been collecting eggs, tomatoes and shoes to throw at PTI leaders during Sunday’s rally. Police have arrested four suspects in this regard, however, they were freed by their supporters.
Denying these allegations, PML-N MPA Taufiq Butt said his party’s leadership has instructed everyone to ensure the rally was held peacefully.
Commenting on the alleged hooliganism by PML-N workers, PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi termed the act as ‘negative politics’ of PML-N.
Claiming that the government was creating hurdles for PTI, Qureshi said his party knows how to defend itself, adding that it was the responsibility of the government to provide security to Imran Khan.
