Imran Khan’s Twitter Space record prior to the Minar-e-Pakistan rally has boosted morale of the PTI workers, whereas, the PTI activists and supporters have once made the ‘No to the imported government’ hashtag top trend on the social media platform.
The political party will organise a rally at Minar-e-Pakistan, Lahore today as Imran Khan’s campaign against the present government gained momentum with the top demand of holding fresh elections in the country to ascertain the real mandate.
