LAHORE: A citizen has moved to the Lahore High Court (LHC) seeking the court to halt the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rally scheduled in Lahore on September 21.
The petition, filed by citizen Mirza Wahid Rafique through lawyer Nadeem Sarwar, named the Punjab government, Deputy Commissioner Lahore, PTI leadership, and others as respondents.

The PTI has requested the district administration for the permission for a rally on September 21. The PTI leadership in their statements intended to hold a rally even without the permission from local administration.
