Agitated by the denial of tickets to their favourite candidates, workers of political parties are coming up with novel ways to register their protest.

He was part of a rally brought out some 200 disgruntled party activists protesting rejection of former MPA Shaheryar Riaz’s application for ticket for PP-12.
