The PM's aide filed a petition against PTI’s public gathering in Lahore’s National Hockey Stadium to celebrate 75 years of Pakistan.

He argued that sports ground cannot be utilised for political rallies.

“The removal and installation of astroturf will cost millions of rupees,” he claimed,.
He asked the Lahore High Court (LHC) to stop PTI from holding rally in the stadium.
It was learned that the removal of astroturf was originally planned for March or April of this year, but faced delays due to the revised PC-1 of the project.
