PTI asked to apologise over ‘derogatory’ remarks against Aimal

LOWER DIR: Reacting to the ‘derogatory’ remarks against the party chief Aimal Wali Khan by some Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf activists during a workers’ convention in Qaziabad Balambat, Pakhtun Students’ Federation (PSF) leaders on Saturday demanded of the PTI leadership to apologise and rein in its workers.

Speaking at a news conference at the Timergara Press Club, PSF district president Mohammad Azeem, senior vice-president Ziaullah, village council chairman Malak Saifullah and others flayed the PTI activists for using ‘abusive’ language against the leaderships of ANP, PPP and JUI-F.

They alleged PTI had created hatred and its activists used uncivilised language against political rivals.

They said ‘derogatory’ remarks by some PTI activists had sparked anger among workers of ANP, PPP and JUI-F.

The PSF leaders said their party had announced to support the JI candidate in the Balambat tehsil council chairman by-election, and all the opposition parties were backing him.

The PTI workers’ convention held in Qaziabad here the other day was addressed by party’s central leader Sher Afzal Khan Marwat, MPAs Malik Shafiullah, Azam Khan, PTI candidate for Balambat tehsil chairman slot Shakir Shuaib and others.

On the occasion, Mr Marwat announced to arrange a long march on Islamabad for early release of PTI founding chairman Imran Khan from jail.

He alleged both the general elections and by-elections in the country were rigged to block the way of PTI.

“Our mandate has been stolen,” Mr Marwat said, adding the state was still engaged in actions against his party.
