SARGODHA: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan visited on Monday the shrine of saint Sial Sharif and later met shrine caretaker Shahibzada Pir Hameeduddin Sialvi. Mr Khan said he was feeling relaxed after seeking guidance from spiritual leaders.

Earlier on his arrival in Sargodha, Mr Khan expressed his desire to meet disgruntled leader Mumtaz Kahilon, vice-president of PTI Punjab north, but Mr Kahilon announced on social media that he would not welcome Mr Khan unless the ticket issue of NA-90 was resolved. Despite aggressive response from Mr Kahilon, the PTI chief arrived at his house in Sargodha and said that he realized the refusal of party ticket to workers was not justified but to change Pakistan and to achieving this goal, the party had to ignore some devoted workers. By the time of our going into the press at 11:15pm, Mr Khan was present at the residence of Mr Kahilon.
