Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) did not take permission to hold rallies hence notice should be taken against them, demanded administration of Karachi from Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Saturday. In a bid to heat up things for the upcoming by-elections in metropolitan city, the PTI and JI held a joint rally.
Commissioner Karachi has commented that the parties did not ask for formal permission to hold rallies which is a clear violation of code of conduct. On the other hand, PTI leader Imran Ismail has said that commissioner Karachi had been informed prior to the rally.
