PTI workers protest outside Imran Khan's residence at Banigala
ISLAMABAD (ENNS) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers protested outside party chairman Imran Khan’s Bani Gala residence here on Saturday over differences regarding issuing of tickets for the upcoming general election.
Alleging that the party “did not issue tickets on the basis of merit”, dozens of workers gathered outside Imran’s residence and rejected the issuance of ticket to Ghulam Sarwar Khan from NA-59.
They also demanded that Ajmal Raja be fielded from the Rawalpindi constituency.
Meanwhile, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry claimed that the party has issued tickets to “strong candidates”.
PTI this time did not issue a ticket to Babar Awan for Islamabad; instead he was given a party rank.
Imtiaz Safdar Warraich, who joined the PTI from PPP, will be given a ticket after a survey.
Some of the party leaders who could not secure tickets include Ali Mohammad Khan, Shoukat Yousafzai, Shehryar Afridi from KP.
From Karachi, Faisal Vawda’s name did not emerge for the general elections, while chances are that FirdousAshiq Awan will be given a ticket.
“It will not be easy to contest against our candidates,” Chaudhry said.
