Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party calls off Islamabad rally on April 6 to demand Imran Khan’s release

Islamabad: Citing religious reasons, jailed former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan’s party has announced cancelling its much-hyped rally that was scheduled to be held here on Saturday to demand the release of the party founder, who has been incarcerated since August last year after his conviction in various cases.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan took to X on Wednesday to



inform his party’s supporters that the decision has been taken because of the Laylat-ul-Qadr — the blessed night that Muslims seek in the odd-numbered nights of the last 10 days of Ramzan, Geo News reported.

He also urged the supporters to pray for the release and safety of all party workers and leaders, including Imran Khan and his spouse Bushra Bibi.
