PTI Supporters Hold Countrywide Rallies To Show Solidarity With Khan.

ISLAMABAD -- The opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Saturday held countrywide protest rallies to show solidarity with the party chairman Imran Khan against the so-called minus-one formula to oust him from the political arena of the country.

The party had announced to hold protests throughout the country after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) decided to indict PTI chief and former prime minister Khan in contempt of court proceedings for giving controversial remarks against a female judge of the lower judiciary of Islamabad.

PTI leaders and workers gathered in Islamabad's F-9 park to hold protest and show solidarity with the party leader. The PTI leadership had made all arrangements in at least 36 cities to broadcast live address of ex-premier Khan, through big screens, at party's power show in Gujranwala. The PTI workers and supporters came out in huge number to show solidarity with Khan.

Earlier the day, PTI Secretary General Asad Umar released the list of 36 major protest sites across the country and urged the PTI workers and supporters to take part in the rallies in huge number to give the 'imported government a loud and clear message that they would not accept minus-one formula.'

In a statement issued by PTI's Central Media Department (CMD), Asad said that the PTI workers and people would gather at these 36 places to express solidarity with their leader Imran Khan. According to the detail, the people gathered in Rawalpindi's Murree Road, and Hashtnagri Chowk in Peshawar.

Similarly, PTI workers and supporters staged protest demonstrations at Swabi Chowk in Swabi, Mardan Press Club in Mardan, Shobra Chowk in Nowshera and Khyber Chowk Bara in Khyber.

Likewise, people gathered at Insaf House Bakshapur in Kandhkot, Khairpur Press Club, Sukkur Insaf House, Hyderabad Press Club, and Press Club at DC Chowk in Ghotki.
