Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) planned rally in Islamabad’s Tarnol area on July 6 is facing uncertainty due to the approaching Muharram.
According to Express News, sources revealed that PTI had chosen Tarnol for the rally. However, PTI leadership is now reconsidering holding the event.
Allied party Majlis-e-Wahdatul Muslimeen (MWM) has also suggested cancelling the rally. PTI sources mentioned that the commencement of Muharram is a significant reason to avoid the gathering.
"On one hand, permission for the rally is granted, while on the other, our people are being arrested," the sources within the PTI said. PTI leadership is considering cancelling the rally due to these arrests, among other reasons.
