Sources indicated that PTI might be allowed to hold the rally at another location in Lahore, and the NOC for the rally’s permission will be issued by 5 PM.
Meanwhile, an important meeting of the Punjab government regarding PTI’s rally at Minar-e-Pakistan is ongoing. Punjab government sources stated that people coming from any province will not be allowed to disturb the peace, and no one will be allowed to create unrest.
