Protesters shouted slogans and waved flags while saying they had come out in support of PTI supporters protesting in Lahore and Karachi, who according to them, faced actual incidents of rigging.

 

Supporters said the gathering was spontaneous and not on the call of any party leader, but said they were prepared for an organised event in case the PTI leadership issued a formal protest call against rigging.
