A strong contingent of police stormed the venue where the PTI was holding its workers convention in Swat. The police action scared the participants who swiftly emptied the venue. The organisers were however adamant to hold the convention but the police made it clear that it won’t happen.
The police party stayed at the venue until all the chairs were removed. In August last, Swat police had also lodged an FIR against 22 workers and leaders of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) for violating Section 144 and organising a rally.
The rally, which took place on August 14, was attended by around 1,500 people including Mingora City mayor Shahid Ali and former MPA Fazal Hakim. According to the FIR, filed at Banar police station in Mingora, the rally was conducted in clear defiance of the Section 144 imposed by the Swat district administration.
