PTI rally in Karachi calls for immediate release of Imran Khan
The Island
|May 13, 2025
Terming their imprisoned leader “a symbol of resistance”, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) workers organised a big rally in the metropolis on Sunday and demanded that party founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan be released forthwith, the Dawn reported yesterday (12)
-
The participants also condemned the Indian aggression, calling it a blatant provocation and a violation of international norms.
The rally, which began from the party office called Insaf House on Sharea Faisal, drew a large number of PTI workers and supporters from different parts of the city.
However, when the rally reached near the Finance & Trade Centre (FTC), it found the city administration and police had blocked the main road leading to the ‘Red Zone’ by parking police mobiles and water tankers on Sharea Faisal.
The closure of the road caused a massive traffic jam. Consequently, the PTI rally had to change its route, made a left turn towards Kala Pul and reached Nishan-i-Pakistan near Seaview via DHA.
