SIALKOT:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers were stopped by police and the district administration of Sialkot on Saturday from arranging a rally at the CTI ground with law enforcement resorting to tear gas and batons to disburse the party supporters who resisted the move.
During the dispute, the police arrested PTI leader Usman Dar and several other party activists for trying to hold a rally on the grounds of the Christian community after permission had been earlier denied by DC Imran Qureshi.
Footage showed police personnel at the CTI ground, with PTI activists standing on top of a stationary crane in what seemed to be an attempt to prevent the LEAs from dismantling rally preparations. Clouds of tear gas could also be seen in the footage.
