Islamabad, April 21 : Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan has been asked to address his party’s Lahore rally virtually after “severe threat alerts” emerged against his life, which is scheduled for Thursday, Khaleej Times reported. This was recommended by Lahore Additional Deputy Commissioner Atiyab Sultan in a notification addressed to PTI leaders which requested them to take timely action to “avoid any untoward incident”. Following the fall of his government, Imran Khan has started a countrywide protest and has been holding mega rallies in several cities against his ouster and to rally support. His next rally is in Lahore at the Minar-i-Pakistan to be held on Thursday. “In light of severe threat alerts received from security agencies and as per latest intelligence assessment made at the district and provincial levels, it is recommended that ex-prime minister Imran Khan should address the public gathering virtually by video conference and LED display instead of making a physical appearance at Greater Iqbal Park, Lahore on 21-04-2022,” Lahore Additional Deputy Commissioner Atiyab Sultan said in a notification. However, PTI Additional Secretary Information Hassan Khawar said that they will not be discouraged by such tactics of the government. Khawar assured that Imran Khan will be participating in the Lahore rally and the party would continue its campaign to connect with the people. Meanwhile, Imran Khan has called upon the masses to come to Minar-e-Pakistan to attend the PTI’s protest rally. ACL1259
