Addressing a public meeting in Sahiwal, Rana Sanaullah had said that his party will comply with the decision taken by the PDM leadership.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Imran Khan ruled out the possibility of the government granting permission to the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) for holding rallies and warned that cases will be lodged against organisers.

In an exclusive interview with a private news channel, he had said the opposition parties are holding public gatherings just to protect their plundered money. The prime minister, however, made it clear that he will not come under any pressure.

“We will lodge FIRs against everyone – from the kursi wala (the one who install chairs) to the sound system handlers in case of violations,” he had said in an interview.
