Government denied permission for PTI Waziristan rally: Dr Alvi

KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Dr Arif Alvi tweeted on Tuesday saying that the government had denied permission to the party to hold a peace march in Waziristan which is scheduled to be held in the upcoming days.

In his tweet, Dr Alvi said that the government had refused permission saying that it was impossible for 100,000 people to enter the area due to security concerns.

Dr Alvi though added that this would not deter their plan.

South Waziristan administration has already denied the PTI permission to stage a rally in the region citing volatile security.

For their part, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have offered security to Imran Khan and his supporters during their “peace march” scheduled for October 7.

Earlier, the TTP had criticised Imran’s statement in which he had called himself a “liberal”. The group contended that by classifying himself as a liberal, Imran had proved that he was a slave of the Western powers.
