As the political environment is highly charged in the country with political parties making their canvassing efforts, PTI supporters clashed with police in different parts of Rawalpindi where the PPP was holding a public rally at Liaquat Bagh on Sunday.

Police took more than 25 workers of the PTI into custody for violating Section 144 and offering resistance to the police in maintaining law and order.

In response to PTI’s founder Imran Khan’s call to hold rallies across the country as part of the electioneering campaign, the party’s supporters appeared on roads in Gulzar-i-Quaid, Saidpur Road, Gorakhpur, Chak Bailee, Adiala Road, Dhamial and Jatli and tried to hold rallies.
