The party prepares to enter the next stage of its agitation against the government over allegations of rigging in 2013 general elections, with plans of paralysing various cities if an independent audit of the 2013 election is not ordered.
PTI has decided to stage sit-ins in nine different areas of Faisalabad.
Ahead of the December 8 rally, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) and PTI supporters - carrying placards - protested and chanted slogans against each other at the Ghanta Ghar Chowk today. PML-N supporters also allegedly threw tomatoes and eggs - with ‘go Imran go’ written on them - at PTI supporters.
The police also launched a crackdown against those violating the ban on pillion riding. Whereas, the Bus Owners Association in the city rejected PTI’s call for strike.
Nawaz, Shahbaz meet
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif held a meeting with Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif in Raiwind to discuss government's strategy to handle the situation in Faisalabad.
The premier asked Punjab chief minister to make sure that law and order was maintained during the upcoming sit-in.

@Naveed: Ro Imran Ro; No excuse for VIP childish behavior from Imran Khan. Most corrupt of all the leaders today who thinks he is above law and special.

A not too old history lesson for my pmln friends..

Say what?
@Ch. Allah Daad:
Of course 2 wrong do not make one right, but Karachi (which looses more revenue than most of Punjab in one day ) has been under lockout more than once many times past 6 years, but none had the guts to criticize MQM the way u guys are criticizing PTI....why do u guys also forget SS locked down almost every city of Punjab during PPPgovt rule against load shedding, JUI F locked down all city against killing of their member n today JuD has done same, so why singling out PTI only ? Is this fair ? More over PTI is not forcing trade to close but voluntarily...there is a difference...
@Sami: It is Imran Khan who refuses to accept the people's mandate to various parties through (despite Imran Khan's hollow claims) what were basically free and fair elections. It is Imran Khan who tried to come to power on the gun barrels of the Pakistan military and thus over-ride the people's mandate. It is you, those still following this individual, you are mental slaves to a demented individual.
wait NS Abhi to party shru hwi hai :)
@CAG all prayesr to propagate this plutocracy, yes for murderer , Tex evaders , looters ,hedonistic
Imran wants a face-saving but government is not ready to give him face-saving. Ro Imran Ro.
Imran wants to destabilize Pakistan. Shame for Imran Khan.
Just 1 questions for hardcore PML-N fans who think Imran Khan should be taught a lesson or ignored etc...the question is: "Why deny recount when all the this can be settled by opening the bags?"
RO IMRAN RO.
IK Zindabad
@ashfaq1: More than 1.5 Million were participate on 30 November at Islamabad
@nightwish: all the leaders and people of Pakistan except one and only... Saint IK....
When Musharraf kicked out NS... how many people came out? ZERO. Compare that to how many people have come out for Imran Khan. Mashah Allah. Blind people like above will not be able to see the difference.
Just testing.
Government must teach a lesson to those who disrupt economic activities. These burgers don't know how poor people make their ends meet. If government won't do it, common citizens would drag out these anarchists out of their communities.
All my prayers for PML-N. Go Imran Go.
Go Imran Go. Ro Imran Ro.
Those that are not corrupt in this land of the pure should stand up and be counted or remain slaves forever.
Those who love their shackles and fetters cannot get freedom, they just serve their masters.
..all the corrupt leaders of Pakistan and corrupt people of Pakistan are against IK ...
it sure seems like IK wants blood and chaos... and you could probably count on this government to give him a Model town repeat eventually.
I think its now the time to show imran and PTI the other side of politics. They think politics is only doing what ever they want.
Go Nawaz Go!
If IK can't bring 1 million people to dharma then he doesn't have public support for regime change - plain and simple.
Faisla in Faisalabad seems to be against Saint IK.....
