Twitter alert: A year after the PTI 'Tsunami' swept Lahore

PTI supporters initiate trend #30OctPTIDay on Twitter.

Exactly a year after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) took out a large rally in the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) stronghold of Lahore, the party’s supporters initiated the #30OctPTIDay trend in remembrance of the day, which most of them termed on Twitter as “historic”.

The rally, which roped in around 45,000 PTI supporters, caused a stir in the political scene and all rallies which followed later started concentrating on attracting large number of participants.

Here is what some people had to say:
