As part of his ongoing election campaign, the former prime minister announced holding a “historic” public gathering on March 19 at Lahore’s Minar-e-Pakistan.
PTI was instructed by the Lahore High Court (LHC) to let people go about their daily lives instead of conducting a rally. After then, Imran Khan once more declared a power show on March 22 at the same location.
