Despite much fanfare about a large protest at Minar-e-Pakistan, PTI senior leadership was nowhere to be seen in Lahore on Saturday, leaving the event to fall flat.
While the protest did not gather steam, the mere announcement of the demonstration kept law enforcement and provincial authorities on their toes.
During a press conference, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan explained that the absence of key party leaders was a deliberate tactic to avoid arrests, especially with upcoming assembly sessions.
He mentioned that many PTI lawmakers had been detained during previous protests, leading to a more cautious approach.
