LAHORE (Dunya News) - Police have bared PML-N from holding a rally at Mall road of provincial capital. Police announced that all political workers must vacate Mall road immediately as LHC has banned political gathering at Mall road.

The joint opposition on Thursday is observing ‘Youm-e-Siah’ – the black day, by deciding to hold rallies across Pakistan, whereas the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is marking Youm-e-Tashakur’ – the thanksgiving day, to commemorate party’s victory in the General Elections, 2018.
A meeting of provincial heads of joint opposition parties was held in Model Town on Wednesday to overview the arrangements of the protest rally of Lahore.
Talking to media after the meeting, former minister and MPA of PML-N Rana Mashhood said that we’ll hold the Jalsa at any cost despite all the hindrances being created by the government and our workers are desperately waiting to observe the ‘black day’ as the mandate of people was stolen the same day one years ago.
