The Pakistan Tekreek-e-Insaaf’s massive power show was held at historic Minar-e-Pakistan, Lahore and needless to say, hundreds of citizens and many celebrities were in attendance.
Some of the stars who stepped forward to support the ousted premier were Samina Peerzada, Annie Khalid, Shaan Shahid and many more.
The enthusiastic PTI supporters joined the protest, donning green and red, the official colours of the political party, in order to lend support to Khan.
