Chiniot: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is set to address a rally in Chiniot on Saturday (today), in a ‘show of force’ just as the ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resumes his journey to Lahore via GT Road after stopovers in different cities on the way.
According to a private TV channel, the public gathering will be held at Islamia College ground, with a seating arrangement for more than 8,000 people.
Chiniot is a city and the administrative headquarter of district Chiniot in Punjab.
Located at the bank of the Chenab River, it is known for its intricate wooden furniture and for its architecture.
On Friday, Bilawal addressed a press conference in Islamabad where he claimed that Nawaz Sharif was only trying to save himself. He said there was no threat to democracy at the moment and added that the PPP would not accept demands from any other party.
Bilawal said he will not make any contact with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), will not pick their calls or go to a meeting.
“They are on their own,” said the PPP chairman.
