Holding the incumbent government and previous rulers equally responsible for the present scenario, he said now the public had no other option except to vote the JI into power.

He said the PTI government not only failed to bring any change, it also broke the record of bad governance set by its predecessors. JI information secretary Qaisar Sharif and JI Lahore chapter ameer Zikrullah Mujahid were also present on occasion.
