Reportedly, the police report claimed that because of possible security risks and the recent upsurge in terrorist activity in the city, the authorization to have a public meeting was refused.
The police warned against allowing PTI to host a public meeting in a report to the district commissioner, citing the port city’s vulnerability to potential terrorist attacks.
Notably, the PTI’s application for permission to stage a power show at Bagh-e-Jinnah, Karachi, is scheduled to be heard by the Sindh High Court today.
The public meeting of the Pakistan Teheek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Sindh, which was originally set on May 5, has been delayed, according to Haleem Adil Sheikh.
According to a statement from Haleem Adil Sheikh, the decision to reschedule the public gathering was made during the party’s political committee meeting. The public meeting of the PTI, he announced, would now take place on May 5, instead of April 28, next to Quaid-e-Azam’s mausoleum.
According to the PTI president for Sindh, his party had asked permission for the meeting by approaching Deputy Commissioner East.
He claimed the PTI had filed a case in the Sindh High Court after the administration had refused to grant them a certificate of non-objection. The petition’s hearing is scheduled for April 26, according to Haleem Adil Sheikh.
A nationwide protest against alleged election tampering and mandate theft in the general elections was declared by the PTI.
