Lahore, August 16 (TNS): After assurance from Pakistan Awami Tehrik (PAT), Lahore High Court on Wednesday allowed Tahir-ul-Qardri’s party to stage sit-in in Lahore.

Earlier, the court, hearing a petition against Pakistan Awami Tehreek’s (PAT) scheduled sit-in, directed the Punjab government, petitioner and the PAT to jointly formulate the strategy regarding it else the court would decide the matter itself.

After PAT gives assurance to end up sit-in by 10:00 pm, the court allowed it to stage sit-in on the Mall road.

On Tuesday, the court had barred the PAT from staging sit-in on The Mall on a petition filed by Naeem Mir, Secretary General, The Mall Traders Association against PAT’s step of staging a sit-in at busy thoroughfare.
