LAHORE : Disgruntled woman activists of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf who feel being ignored on the priority list with regard to the reserved seats have filed application in the party's central secretariat while appealing the party chairman to review it.

The application, signed by senior party members from Punjab, including former MPA Saadia Sohail and Erum Bokhari, has been submitted to the PTI Central Secretariat.

A delegation of PTI woman activists have also gone to Islamabad to meet the party chairman and sensitise him about the priority list, on which, many party members, including the former MPAs, have either been given a number quite below or even their names were not on it. Former MPA Saadia Sohail had been given the 16th number and her name was after Musarrat Jamshed Cheema, whose husband Jamshed Cheema is also a National Assembly ticket holder from Lahore. The name of Nabila Hakim, a former MPA, hasn't been put on the list, whereas, the name of Raheela Anwar, another former MPA, is almost at the bottom of the list.
