SARGODHA – The senior leaders of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf from Sargodha division of Punjab have warned the party to avoid awarding tickets to the new entrants for the forthcoming elections.
In a letter bearing signatures of 17 local leaders, it has been categorically stated that some paratroopers were trying to secure party ticket for the upcoming electoral tussle, warning that if these elements succeed in their bid, a joint resistance would be offered.
The leaders including Chaudhry Mumtaz Akhter Kahloon, Ansar Majeed Khan Niazi, Malik Shoaib Awan, Mehar Mansoor Hayat Lak and others have clarified that the said aspirants of party tickets did not welcome the chairman last month and have no affiliation with the party, adding that they had already applied for the party tickets.
