Gujranwala rally: PML-N supporters plan to ‘welcome’ PTI leadership with eggs and tomatoes

GUJRANWALA: Police arrested on Sunday four people who were allegedly planning to throw eggs and tomatoes on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders when they would arrive in Gujranwala for a rally, Express News reported.

However, they were later freed by their supporters.

Those arrested by Baghwanpura police were identified as Amir Butt, Bilal Butt, Usman Butt and Shahbaz Bhatti.

A large number of eggs, tomatoes, and shoes with the slogan “Ro Imran Ro” inscribed on them were recovered from their possession.

However, some enraged supporters of those arrested forcefully freed them from police custody and took the recovered items along with them.

PTI, PML-N respond

Meanwhile, PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi termed the act as ‘negative politics’ of the PML-N.

Claiming that the government was creating hurdles for PTI, Qureshi stressed his party knows how to defend itself, adding that it was the responsibility of the government to provide security to PTI chief Imran Khan.

Denying these allegations, PML-N MPA Taufiq Butt said his party’s leadership instructed everyone to ensure the rally was held peacefully.
