The concerts featured well known local artists and comedians and were planned by the PHA on Saturday. PHOTO: FILE
The three concerts had free entry and featured well known local artists.
The concerts, which failed to attract many people, were held at Jillani Park, Minto Park and Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park.
The plan for holding not one but three concerts was prepared on Saturday, with the PHA preparing banners for the concerts and putting them up near the parks.
The concerts were far more than local music galas as the PHA acquired professional hosts and comedians for the programs as well.
The concert held at Minar-e-Pakistan was hosted by Aslam Seemab while performers included Malko, Sain Zahoor and Nexus Group.
Renowned local comedians Tariq Jackson and Allah Rakha Pepsi also participated.
Gulshan Iqbal Park’s concert was hosted by Dr Sohail. It featured Falak Sher, Mazhar Rahi, Nasir Biraj and Arif Butt of String Fellows as musical performers and Hasan Abbas and Vicky Cobra as comedians.
The concert at Jillani Park was hosted by Yasir Qureshi. Musical performers included Rafaqat Ali, Bilal, Faisal, Ali Abbas and folk singers Shaukat Ali along with his son Imran Ali.

what a shame
@masialu: Nil. As before 22nd December it was waste of money!
@Ch. Allah Daad: "PTI will always attract more people than PML(N)"
You got that part right.
Can somebody please let me know how many concerts and comedy shows were organized by Parks and Horticulture Authority in the last 200 days?
Sitting in India it is clear as daylight that PTI will form the next Federal Govt in Pakistan +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The PML N is a flop show. Pakistan will realise its potential when PTI will run the country. IK is the hope of the nation and also of the Indians!.
PTI will always attract more people than PML(N), because Imran is a better entertainer. He has leanred it with experience.
worst approach...i dont know why PML(N) is so frustrated and afraid of PTI that they are losing confidence in themselves....such efforts would reveal their shivering legs to everyone...PTIs rally was JUST a peaceful rally....n moreover PML(N) should realize that we THE YOUTH are much much more interested in country's affairs then some damn concert even if the performers are Paki pop cream...we know our priorities...so plz get a life PML(N) n give us cheap daaal roti n CNG...we dont want any concerts untill you dont ensure that every lad in Lahore sleeps with a filled tummy...act maturely!!
@Ordinary Citizen: Yes...for comedy relief pti jalsa was immediately followed by the 3 pmln comedians, abid ali sher, rana sahib and prevaiz no information rasheed :)
And IK thinks that having a loser like Sheeda Tully as his one and only political adviser would help him learn a thing or two about politics. PML-N and the Sharifs are political animals of the highest pedigree and two bit con artists and wannabe politicians like IK and Tully don't stand a chance against the bag of tricks the Sharifs have.
Sorry my little trolls but hey there was never any nobility in politics.
strong text HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA. Shows how scared PMLN was.
PMLN is known for dirty tactics on public expense. Nothing new.
Nawaz Sharif and his cronies are known to waste public money on gibberish. Nothing new on their part.
Wasting public money on such stupidities is a forte of PMLN since inception.
So subtle .... so subtle Mr. Showbaz sharif Wow. Throwing away people's hard earned money on concerts for political gains. And people expect that he along with his bunch of cronies will turn around the country's economy.
What a bunch of losers; PMLN.
So in total there were 4 concerts in Lahore today.
The ppl who used to call Imran Khan's jalsas as concerts are now conducting actual concerts to distract people from the rally.. LOL !
And who paid for these concerts? Us the poor tax payers.
Long live IK. shame that the PMLN supporters did not share any unity with the party. this was all planned to neutralize the IK protest but the low attendance proved the true support party has in Lahore!
I know that the few they have were blogging against the protest!
shame on punjab govt
Hahahaha....
It is good for the citizens to have some break after day-long PTI drama on tv channels.
Pmln really know all the dirty tricks of the trade. This is all that they know.
Hahaha...oh the irony. First pmln says pti jalsas are concerts, then sets up concerts to distract youth! Meaning they still dont understand why people are going to pti jalsas. When will they ever learn! Good these concerts flopped...maybe pmln will learn something from this. Cant stop laughing!
Very good show PTI. Imran Khan is truly the Pakistan Khan.
PMLN politics. Fooling people since the 80's. Sher aya sher.
Hahaha seriously Punjab Government? Are the people considered Sheeps or what?
Lol, Height of desperation on part of the nooras :)
