PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers, recently released after arrests during the party’s Islamabad D-Chowk protest, gathered outside the Chief Minister’s House in Peshawar on November 7, frustrated by what they described as poor treatment.
Invited by Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for a meeting, the workers arrived at the CM House at 4:00 PM but were reportedly left waiting for hours without food or basic amenities. By 6pm, tensions grew, and some workers began to voice their discontent openly.
“We were invited here but kept waiting without even a meeting or basic hospitality. This feels disrespectful,” said one protestor.
When the CM finally addressed the group, many workers felt it was too late, expressing dissatisfaction with the way they had been treated. Following his brief remarks, an MPA close to the CM distributed cash payments of Rs1,000 to each worker, but many refused, asserting that respect, not money, was their main concern.
“We’re here for recognition, not handouts,” said another worker. “We deserve respect for our commitment to the party.”
The protestors, loyal to PTI leader Imran Khan, chanted slogans expressing their disappointment in the local leadership, calling for greater acknowledgment of their contributions to the party.
