The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has called off its much-hyped public gathering scheduled to be held on Islamabad’s Parade Ground on April 6.

In a post on X, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said on Wednesday the decision had been taken in view of the Laylat-ul-Qadr — the blessed night that Muslims seek in the odd-numbered nights of the last ten days of Ramadan.

He also urged the supporters to pray for the release and safety of all party workers and leaders including PTI founder Imran Khan and his spouse Bushra Bibi.

Last month, the PTI had announced to stage a grand power show in Parade Ground to ensure the release of the party founder, who has been behind bars since August last year in different cases ranging from corruption to leaking state secrets.

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) had also directed authorities in the federal capital to grant permission to the PTI to hold a public gathering in the federal capital.

“One’s right of assembly cannot be taken away,” IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq said on March 27 while hearing PTI’s petition seeking the court’s permission to hold a public rally in Islamabad.
