ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has canceled a planned rally in the city of Rawalpindi on Saturday on the instructions of party founder Imran Khan.

“On instructions of founding Chairman PTI, Imran Khan, the Rawalpindi Jalsa on Sept 28th is canceled and there will be a peaceful protest instead,” the PTI party said in a statement on Thursday. “More details will be shared soon.”

PTI had proposed Liaquat Bagh and Bhata Chowk as potential venues for the rally.

Talking to media in Adiala Jail, the former prime minister said that he knew that the government wouldn’t allow PTI to hold a rally in Rawalpindi.

No negotiations with establishment, Imran tells party leaders

Imran Khan directed the party to withdraw the application that was earlier submitted seeking permission to hold power show.

However, the party would stage protest in Rawalpindi on Saturday.

“We’ll hold protests in Rawalpindi while the lawyers’ forum of party will protest outside the Supreme Court,” said Imran Khan. Following rallies this month in Islamabad and Lahore, the PTI announced this week it would hold public gatherings in Rawalpindi
