Sindh Home Minister Issues Strict Warning to PTI: Road Rallies Not Permitted, stated Zia-ul-Hassan Lanjar on Saturday night. The minister emphasized that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) does not have permission for political gatherings on public roads. He warned the party to follow proper protocols and use authorized political venues. The warning reinforced that any road rally without approval will face strict government action.
Speaking to the media, Sindh Home Minister Zia-ul-Hassan Lanjar explained that public road usage for political gatherings disrupts normal life and violates the writ of the provincial government. He urged PTI Sindh leadership, including Haleem Adil Sheikh, to hold events only at approved locations. The minister added that the provincial government has been extending support, but will not allow non-compliance.
Earlier, PTI announced a congregation outside Mazar-e-Quaid due to delays in receiving formal approval for Bagh-e-Jinnah. Nasir Hussain Shah, Local Government Minister, responded that the party could still use Bagh-e-Jinnah with full logistical support. The government offered assistance such as chairs, containers, and coordination to ensure proper organization. He clarified that the federal government oversees Bagh-e-Jinnah, but the provincial authorities facilitate the arrangements.
This directive highlights the importance of political gathering restrictions and maintaining public safety. Sindh Home Minister Lanjar stressed that coordination between provincial and federal authorities is essential to avoid disruption. Compliance with formal approval procedures ensures orderly political event organization and prevents clashes with government enforcement.
PTI is advised to plan rallies in authorized areas, respecting government writ and public order. Authorities remain ready to facilitate the party while maintaining safety for citizens and smooth traffic flow.
