Over 100 PTI Workers Arrested Before Lahore Rally

Ahead of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rally scheduled for September 21 in Lahore, Punjab Police have arrested over 100 party workers. These individuals have been detained under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Act to prevent potential disturbances.

Among those arrested are notable figures like Aslam Iqbal, Mian Hasan (son of Mehmood ur Rasheed), Mehr Wajid, Waqas Amjad, Nadeem Bara, and 42 others. The police claim these individuals might disrupt public order and cause unrest.

In response to the arrests, PTI has filed a petition in the Lahore High Court. They are seeking to stop further arrests and protect their constitutional right to hold peaceful rallies. The rally, set to be held at Minar-e-Pakistan, has been organized by party chairman Imran Khan to assert their democratic rights.

The legal plea, submitted by Sheikh Imtiaz and Yasir Gillani, argues that the police are infringing on PTI members’ rights by making arrests before the rally. The petitioners have requested the court to intervene, urging authorities to halt the arrests and allow the event to take place peacefully.
