PTI postpones Faisalabad rally after women participants wronged in Lahore
Ruling party's women members had lambasted PTI's leader
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has postponed its rally in Faisalabad on coming Sunday in wake of indecent behavior with women participants after Lahore rally, Dunya News reported Wednesday.
Party’s spokesperson stated that the party does not trust Punjab Police with rally’s security anymore. He said that the women participants remained safe and sound during 126-day long sit-in at D-Chowk. It was only on the Mall in Lahore that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) ‘goons’ behaved indecently with women.
PTI chairman Imran Khan had addressed a rally in front of Punjab Assembly on Sunday. As soon as the rally ended, women were manhandled and wronged despite separate enclosures for them.

The party has announced rallies in Peshawar on May 9 and in Bannu on May 11. It should be noted here that Imran Khan is going to address a rally in Bannu after Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif delivered a rather aggressive speech there this week.
Ruling party’s women members had lambasted PTI’s leader after rally in Lahore. They criticised Khan for eyeing leadership of the country when he could not control situation in a rally. On the other hand, PTI’s women politicians held a counter-press conference and stated that such a case never surfaced prior to rally in Lahore, PML-N’s centre.
Law Minister Rana Sanaullah had said that law enforcement agencies would arrest culprits after identifying them using CCTV cameras. A case was registered at Civil Lines Police Station. Sanaullah had further said that Khan’s arrest was likely in capacity of a facilitator.
