According to an official notification issued by the Deputy Commissioner of Rawalpindi, the request submitted by the local leadership of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was reviewed by the District Intelligence Committee (DIC) after a comprehensive assessment of the current security situation.
The letter stated that, based on feedback from law enforcement agencies, credible security threats to large public gatherings were identified, posing potential risks to both participants and the general public. In light of these concerns, the committee unanimously concluded that the event could not be permitted.
Authorities also noted that Section 144 has already been imposed in the district, restricting public assemblies.
The administration further explained that the extensive deployment of police personnel and security resources required for such a large-scale event is currently not feasible due to existing security demands and government austerity measures.
Following the DIC’s unanimous decision and recommendations from law enforcement agencies, the administration formally declined the request to organise the political gathering at Liaquat Bagh.
