People to reject PTI in 2018 elections: Amir Muqam

PESHAWAR: The provincial president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and prime minister’s advisor, Amir Muqam, said on Wednesday that people would reject the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in the 2018 general elections.

Addressing a public gathering in Koh-e-Daman area where he inaugurated natural gas supply in the National Assembly constituency NA-IV, he said the masses disliked protests and dharnas (sit-ins).

He said the PTI had been confined to Facebook and its government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa did little for well-being of the people.

“The PML-N leadership is inaugurating uplift projects on a daily basis while the PTI is showing green pastures only on Facebook,” he claimed.

Amir Muqam said the PTI’s allies in the provincial government were raising voices against Chief Minister Pervez Khattak for reportedly violating merit. “The chief minister himself is involved in corruption while his party chief Imran Khan will be disqualified under Article 62 and 63 of the Constitution,” he added.

Amir Muqam said that Imran Khan was harming democracy in his lust for the prime minister’s office.

“The PTI chief should be held accountable for exploiting the people of KP who voted the PTI to power in the hope of change but the slogan of change proved to be a fraud,” he added.

Congratulating the people of union councils Matani, Adezai, Sharikera, Azakhel and Maryamzai for the gas supply project, he said that hopefully they would support his party in the general elections.

Nasir Khan Musazai, Sifwatullah, Amanullah and other party leaders also spoke on the occasion.
