Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur lost his temper upon encountering obstacles on the way to the PTI rally on Saturday, shattering a car window with the butt of a Kalashnikov.
As PTI was concluding the rally in accordance with the district administration’s deadline, Gandapur’s convoy was still stuck in traffic. Upon reaching the entrance to the Lahore-Sialkot motorway, he became infuriated by the roadblocks.
In his frustration, he struck the car window with the weapon, highlighting the tensions surrounding the event.
The venue for the PTI rally in Lahore’s Kahna Cattle Market was set up on Saturday, but the event started 1.5 hours later than scheduled. Leaders and supporters continued to arrive at the venue, with several leaders already beginning their speeches.
It was PTI’s second public gathering after the Sangjani rally on September 8. A heavy police presence has been deployed around the venue, with barbed wire also laid out along the Ring Road.
Several supporters of PTI started leaving the Kahna rally site as the police took control of the stage and shut down the lights after the time allotted for the public gathering ended at 6pm.
