Other PTI leaders, including Ali Haider Zaidi, slammed Vawda for making the controversial remarks. Zaidi claimed that he had been launched by the “imported government”.
Vawda tried to damage our #LongMarch
Interestingly all channels + PTV covered the presser so it’s clear that #ImportedGovernment launched him. But he made no sense.
When @ImranKhanPTI has clearly issued instructions for all to remain peaceful, what weight does his presser carry?— Ali Haider Zaidi (@AliHZaidiPTI) October 26, 2022
