LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rescheduled its public gathering at Minar-e-Pakistan Lahore that was earlier set to be held on September 15, ARY News reported.

According to details, the Imran Khan-founded party has now decided to hold public gathering at Minar-e-Pakistan on September 22.

Earlier, the party sought permission to hold the public gathering in September but the date has been changed to September 22 in respect of the 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal.
