Jailed former prime minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) was not allowed to hold rallies to celebrate the country’s Independence Day and over 100 party workers were detained by security agencies across Punjab, the party said on Thursday.
“On Wednesday, Punjab police pounced on the PTI workers for trying to hold rallies in Lahore, Sahiwal, Multan and Faisalabad and arrested over 100 workers,” a PTI Punjab official told PTI on Thursday. He said the police tortured the PTI workers and even manhandled women participants. “Our only crime was to celebrate Pakistan Independence Day,” he said.
