RAWALPINDI – Police on Thursday night sealed the Lal Haveli, residence of Sheikh Rashid, by placing containers in front of its main entrance ahead of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf public meeting which is scheduled to be held today (Friday) at the same place.
Police also blocked all roads leading to Lal Haveli by placing containers and also arrested an activist of Awami Muslim League (AML) for resistance.
Sheikh Rasheed, chairman of AML while responding to the government’s move of sealing his residence expressed that the public gathering would take place as decided. He hinted at the possibility of Imran Khan arriving his residence through helicopter.
On the other hand, Federal Constabulary (FC) personnel reached the residence of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan in Bani Gala, Islamabad and marched up to the barrier leading to the residence of the PTI leader. However, they left the scene after staying there for few hours.
It is relevant to mention that the federal government has imposed section 144 in Islamabad. Scores of PTI workers were detained last night as police stormed a worker’s convention in the city.
