WOMEN’S WING: The PTI women’s wing, Punjab, staged a protest demonstration at Liberty Roundabout on Wednesday against the target killing of Zehra Shahid Husain.

The protesters led by women’s wing Punjab president Syeda Saloni Bokhari, senior vice-president Shamsa Ali and secretary-general Saadia Sohail condemned the tragic incident calling it an act of blatant terrorism.

Ms Bokhari said status quo political parties had fully laced their militant wings and believed in the ‘democracy’ through bullet rather than through ballot.

“Zehra Shahid has embraced martyrdom in the cause of true and transparent democracy,” Ms Bokhari said.

She called upon the Supreme Court to take suo motu notice of the blatant target killing that aimed at thwarting PTI’s struggle for safeguarding the citizen’s fundamental right of free, fair and transparent voting.

ALEEM: PTI Lahore president Abdul Aleem Khan has said those, who managed their poll lead in the night of May 11 have been exposed and now people would not stop raising their voice on the call of Imran Khan.

He said the caretaker set-up and the Election Commission had failed to discharge their duties and gave the country a doubted mandate, which would never be able to come up to the expectations of masses. He said the PTI workers had an ideological approach and they were out on the streets for the democratic right, which provided them space to protest.

Aleem Khan also chaired a meeting of party workers and stressed that the May 24 Islamabad protest should be participated in by a maximum number of party members.
