SIALKOT: Senior Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leader Jehangir Tareen has demanded early re-opening of the alleged rigging case of Khwaja Asif’s constituency NA-110.

Speaking to journalists at Jinnah House here on Saturday, he pledged to continue struggle for safeguarding rights of people by ensuring ouster of the corrupt rulers. He urged the masses to come out for uprooting the corrupt system.

The PTI, he said, would promote merit in every sphere of life besides encouraging the talented youth in the country.

Earlier, the MNA spoke to the party workers and assured the youth that his party would motivate people to stand tall against corruption. Pakistan is blessed with all natural resources and the PTI would bring them to use to make it a prosperous Pakistan, he said. He said the PTI had become the biggest political party of Pakistan and had been enjoying complete support of the masses across the country.

Earlier, charged-up PTI workers accorded a warm welcome to Mr Tareen and chanted slogans calling him a “hero of democracy.”
