Actually I developed a gui app using tkinter(Python). But can't display tkinter gui from within docker.
Did someone has this problem before ? How can I fix it ?
Please suggest me some useful links.

You need to share your host X11 socket with the container and export your display variables.
-v stands for Bind mount a Volume
-e stands for Export Environment variables
$docker run -it \ -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \ -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \ bash

Dear Suheel Yousuf Wani,
Please try with following command to docker run for solving your $DISPLAY error:
-e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \ -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw \ your app
Also, http://www.mit.edu/~arosinol/2019/08/06/Docker_Display_GUI_with_X_server/ web address can help you more.
