Prime Minister Khan, who was already scheduled to make his first official visit to Lahore on Friday night, will stay at his residence in Zaman Park and will hold meetings with Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar and other party leaders.
As a media consultant of a political party shared this video of traffic jam on Twitter, social media users especially supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf tried to speak in favour of PM Khan, and against the outgoing government and former ruling family.
