Govt Announces Lockdown ahead of PTI protest in Lahore and Multan from next Friday to Sunday due to “smog”.

Punjab Government Minister Maryam Aurangzeb held a press conference on November 15 , 2024 and announced key decisions regarding smog preventions and lockdown in two major cities of Punjab , Lahore and Multan. Schools, Colleges and Universities will remain closed during lockdown.

Lahore has been in serious danger due to smog, it has become the world’s most polluted city. Meanwhile, on the other hand despite the smog and climate conditions, PTI has announced the nation wide protest from 24 November until their demands are fulfilled. PTI major demands are the back-off of 26th Amendment, release of their founding chairman and former Prime Minister of Pakistan , Imran Khan. As far as government is concerned, it is quite evident that they have announced lockdown due to PTI protest call instead of the smog. If it had been of smog, they should have imposed Lockdown from this week, because smog is on peak these days but they are imposing next week when PTI has announced protest. That is why we are saying Govt Announces Lockdown ahead of PTI Protest rather than smog.

PTI while had been also just trying to be relevant on ground somehow because there was no need for protest in these catastrophic condition of smog. There is a quote that sums up the philosophy and teach these political parties a lesson if they want :

Two wrongs can’t make one right.
