Party spokesperson says new date for the rally will be announced at appropriate time following mutual consultation
RAWALPINDI
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Wednesday announced the postponement of its public rally scheduled for April 9 due to the upcoming talks between the United States and Iran in the federal capital.
The decision was taken during a key meeting of the party’s political committee, where senior leadership, including Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, reviewed the overall political and regional situation in detail. Following deliberations, the committee decided to defer the rally that was due to be held at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi.
The PTI political committee’s meeting focused on the country’s political climate, with particular attention to recent developments in the region. The committee welcomed progress regarding the ceasefire between the US and Iran, describing it as a positive milestone.
The participants emphasised that stability in the region was essential not only for the global economy but also for the survival and well-being of humanity.
PTI’s spokesperson said the party sought not merely a temporary ceasefire in the Middle East, but a lasting and sustainable peace.
The meeting’s members also noted Pakistan was set to host an important international conference in Islamabad on Friday, which holds significant importance for regional and global peace. In this context, the political committee decided that, under the current circumstances, priority should be given to diplomatic efforts and the success of peace negotiations rather than holding a public gathering.
The party’s founder also conveyed a message through Barrister Salman Safdar, supporting the decision to postpone the rally. It was confirmed by PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan during his speech in the National Assembly.
The PTI spokesperson said a new date for the rally will be announced at an appropriate time following mutual consultation.
