LAHORE: PML-N leader Hamza Shahbaz has said Imran Khan cancelled his tour of his (Hamza) constituency because the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf failed to assemble people there.

Talking to reporters here on Tuesday, the son of Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said Imran Khan cancelled his tour of the Walled City as people did not respond to his call forcing him to rush back to his home in Islamabad.

“Imran should come to my constituency I will offer him a cup of tea,” he said in reply to a question.

Another PML-N leader Muhammad Mehdi said the Election Commission should take notice of ‘massive spending’ of the PTI for its April 29 rally in Lahore. He said despite huge spending the PTI would fail to put a good political show in Lahore as Lahorities are not responding to its call.
