Disgruntled PML-N MPA Ashraf Ansari has announced that he will organize a rally against the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s Jalsa in Gujranwala on October 16, saying that people of Gujranwala will reject narrative of PDM.
The PDM, an alliance of the opposition parties, has planned its first anti-government rally in Gujranwala on October 16. The estranged PML-N MPA, however, believes that the rally is against the country’s institutions and not against the government.
The PML-N MPA said he will be holding “Love Pakistan” rally in the city to counter the opposition parties.
“Pakistan is the country of patriotic people… Gujranwala is the city of patriotic people,” said Ansari. He added that permission for a rally in which the country’s institutions will be defamed will not be given.
All the citizens will reject every program which is against the “security and stability” of Pakistan, said the MPA.
The local administration in Gujranwala has not granted permission to the PML-N for holding the PDM’s rally in the city. Khurram Dastgir, a party leader, told a private TV that he had sought permission for holding the rally at Jinnah stadium but the administration has not responded to his request so far.
He warned that the opposition parties will hold a massive rally on GT Road if the administration does not respond to the PML-N’s request for holding the rally.
