Akmal Khan Bari filed the Petition on behalf of PTI. The petition had requested the court to grant permission for a rally at Karachi’s Bagh e Jinnah Park or Lahore’s historic Minar-i-Pakistan.
Minar-e-Pakistan is famously used for political expression. PTI needs to hold a rally here as part of its consistently ongoing efforts to mobilize its supporters and send its message to the masses. The party has traditionally held many public meetings at the Minar-e-Pakistan, and this event was significant because of its timing.
Rally on Imran Khan’s Birthday Requested
The meeting informed that the petition filed regarding permission to hold a rally has been pending with DC Lahore for some time. He added that PTI would want to hold a peaceful rally on October 5, the birthday of PTI chief Imran Khan. It would ring in a tone of celebration about what the party hopes will be an assembling of forces behind its leader.
The petitioner claimed that PTI wanted to rally peacefully without creating chaos or conducting illegal activities and sought a speedy edition of this judgment in court.

Minar-e-Pakistan and PTI Rallies Lahore HC’s
Until now, PTI has symbolically marked its political journey from here, where it holds rallies in Minar-e-Pakistan. It is where the party holds its most populous public gatherings and has frequently been the setting for important political campaigns. A rally on the birthday of the party’s founder at Minar-e-Pakistan would be both homage to Imran and energization of his base.
Due to its historical importance and central location, Minar-e-Pakistan is used for political events. Over the years, many political parties and movements have held events here, making it an impressive spot for any party looking to attract attention.
Under the decision Lahore HC’s
If the DC Lahore allows PTI to hold its protest outside the embassy, there will be a madder crowd than before, and it can also help raise its presence in the political arena. The rally will be an essential event for PTI, especially in the present political situation of Pakistan, where it will fight legal battles or have leadership issues.
Then, as a follow-up, the party might want to look for a new legal venue, but maybe not as ideal, or cancel the rally altogether.
Conclusion
The go-ahead for that would also largely depend on DC Lahore’s decision. More than a symbolic event that corresponded with Imran Khan’s birthday, this process also has strategic implications for the party as it navigates Pakistan´s complex political landscape.
