KARACHI: The Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Karachi has stopped the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from installing mega screens at the Sea View beach to relay Imran Khan’s speech from Lahore tonight, a private TV channel reported.
However, the PTI has alleged that the police and local authorities were creating hurdles as the party prepared to show Imran Khan’s Lahore jalsa (public gathering) to supporters at the Sea View beach on mega LED or projector screens.
On the other hand, Clifton SP Rohail Khan said that the organizers failed to produce any NOCs from either the DHA or the district administration.
PTI’s Haleem Adil Sheikh arrived at the beach and blamed PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari for the situation. The “Zardari force” could not stop people from coming to the Sea View, he said.
“People will peacefully arrive here to listen to Imran Khan’s speech, and no one should come between them and Khan”, said Shiekh.
He said that Khan’s Lahore rally tonight would be ‘historic.’
The PTI chief has been holding rallies in major cities of the country since his ouster by the Parliament in a no-confidence vote on April 9. He has already addressed two events in Peshawar and Karachi. The PTI installed LED and projector screens in several cities to transmit the events.
