OKARA: Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) central leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi says although the party does not acquiesce to the judicial commission report, however, the 40 points which it had emphasised had been acknowledged by it.

He was addressing a PTI workers convention in a marriage hall on GT Road on Friday.

Mr Qureshi said PTI’s stand on rigging in the general elections had been proved in the election tribunals judgments regarding three constituencies -- NA-125, NA-122 and NA-154. He said he had got information that one of PML-N MNAs’ degree had been declared as fake by the election tribunal.

Punjab had been ruled constantly by the PML-N in the last 30 years and the ongoing year was eight year of Shahbaz Sharif’s government in the province, he said, adding the agriculture of the province would remain in dire straits as long as the Sharifs ruled the province.

The PTI leader said the PPP was breathing its last and his party would replace the PML-N. He said the PML-N and the PPP had been looting the nation’s resources and sending the wealth to their foreign coffers. PTI Ch district coordinator Azhar Mehmood, Ex-State minister Syed Samsam Ali Bokhari, PTI ticket holder Rao Khalid Mustafa and others were also present.

Twenty four former members of the district council, including Afzal Wattoo, Nasir Baloch, Rao Humayun Mustafa, Rana Khalid Joiya and Rai Shaukat Ali, joined the PTI and declared their support for it.
