Two videos are going viral on social media, showing two different realities. In one video, it can be seen that around 2000 people at Liberty Chowk are enjoying pre-Basant, and no one asked them to come out. In another video, it can be seen that around 50 to 70 people near Adiala jail in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Aleem Khan’s call for the release of PTI founder Imran Khan. These two different realities are enough to judge that Imran Khan is now irrelevant in the game of politics.
A social media user posted a video in which Liberty Chowk is literally full of people enjoying pre-Basant. There are hundreds of vehicles that can be seen on the road, and people can be seen enjoying the decoration and having the best time.
On the other hand, there are a few individuals near Adiala jail demanding the release of the PTI founder. Earlier, PTI leader Aleema Khan left the protest near Adiala jail because PTI workers didn’t join the sit-in in the cold night of Rawalpindi. However, Aleema Khan can be seen saying that next time, around 10,000 people will join our sit-in, but obviously, it’s a statement made in a state of delusion.
Basant in Lahore
The Punjab government announced public holidays on the 6th and 7th of February across the province to celebrate Basant. Lahoris are excited for the upcoming event as it has been reported that people have bought kites and strings worth 54 crore in the last two days.
Courts will remain open
The courts will remain open during Basant festivities as Chief Justice Lahore High Court (LHC) confirmed that the LHC and subordinate courts will work as per routine. She urged judges, lawyers and LHC administration to make their presence necessary on 6th and 7th February.
