It seems that another bout of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s political confrontation is looming around the corner, as leaders of both the political parties are adamant not to budge from their stances.

As PML-N’s workers unite and vow to protect the possible venue of PTI’s protest, Raiwind, PTI’s Jahangir Tareen also showed determination to stay put and express a grand show of strength.

Today, PML-N's Zaeem Qadri gave an ultimatum to rival PTI till September 25 to finalise the route and venue of the Raiwind march. Healso said that no mention of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's residence should be made.

PTI Chairman Imran Khan had given September 30 as the final date for Raiwind protest, although exact venue of the protest remains a controversial issue.

The political battleground this time around seems to be the ruling PML-N’s stronghold and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s residence, Raiwind.

PMl-N leaders strongly condemned the rival’s upcoming political showdown, deeming it capable of turning violent.

Earlier, PML-N workers had established a forced armed with sticks to welcome PTI workers at Raiwind. Today, the PML-N's Hamza youth wing also threatened the rival party workers saying that they would welcome them to Raiwind with eggs and tomatoes.
