TOBA TEK SINGH: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Javed Hashmi has urged party workers to work hard at tehsil and town levels to motivate people to join PTI’s independence march on Aug 14.

Addressing an Iftar-dinner hosted by PTI leader and former district nazim Chaudhry Muhammad Ashfaq and later at a press conference on Monday night, he criticised the government for its failure to control loadshedding.

He claimed the PTI government was genuinely providing relief to the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Also present on the occasion, PTI Vice-Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi said it was a pity that our Foreign Ministry and the OIC were silent over Israeli atrocities on innocent Palestine people.

Earlier, both leaders were warmly welcomed when they reached here and were brought to the city in a procession.
