KARACHI/ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has been allowed to hold a public rally in Larkana after the administration laid down strict conditions, DawnNews reported.

Earlier, in a core committee meeting of the party held on Monday, PTI chairman Imran Khan said the government can arrest him if its wants to.

PTI Core Committee members discussed various issues that the party is facing, including Khan being labelled an absconder.

The core committee was given the task to make arrangements for a successful jalsa on November 30.

Talking to media, Shah Mehmood Qureshi condemned the firing incident on PTI supporters in Jhelum and asked the government to take the culprits to task.

He alleged that the Sindh government was creating hurdles and not allowing PTI to hold a jalsa in Larkana, the hometown of Pakistan People’s Party leadership.

“Rather than creating difficulties, the government should facilitate the participants,” Qureshi said.

He further alleged that Sharif government faked the attack on PTV and added that the Punjab government was planning to arrest PTI workers. He reiterated that the Nov 30 jalsa will take place.
