MULTAN: Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) has once again called for an early general elections, alleging that the PPP-led government had completely failed in running the system.

Leaders of the PTI Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Jawed Hashmi held a combined press conference here on Monday.

Qureshi termed the resolution on Balochistan tabled in the US congress this week a conspiracy against Pakistan and said that it could damage the country if not fully encountered.

Meanwhile, Hashmi said that people are supporting the PTI and time has come to bring change in the country.

He said that all opposition parties had assured him their full support in the last presidential election but Nawaz Sharif was not in favour of nominating him as a presidential candidate against Zardari Ali Zardari.
