Lahore: The Lahore High Court on Thursday prohibited the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from holding a rally this Sunday at Iqbal Park (Minar-e-Pakistan). The Court asked PTI to let citizens live their routine lives. The party was planning to hold a historic public rally in Lahore's Minar-e-Pakistan on the 19th of March and PTI Chairman Imran Khan was set to lead it. 

The judge criticised the party for not planning its public gathering ahead of time. He said that if the party wanted to hold a rally, then the preparations should have begun 15 days prior.
 
PTI Senior Vice President Fawad Chaudhry had approached the High Court a day earlier seeking to stop the police operation in the Zaman Park area. The police had taken action to



arrest former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case, as per the Court orders.
 
During the initial hearing, the High Court had directed police to suspend the operation until 10 am on Thursday which helped calm the situation at Imran Khan's residence. Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh resumed the hearing on Thursday and noted that neither the Lahore High Court nor the Islamabad High Court had stopped the law enforcers from executing the deposed Prime Minister's arrest warrants.
 
In the Order issued later, the Court said that the Order passed on Wednesday shall remain enforced till the next hearing, which implies that the Zaman Park operation has been halted till Friday.
