Talking to ticket holders of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf from Gujranwala, who called on him at the PM Office, he said the people, fed up with corruption and mafia, now considered the PTI as their savior, said a press release issued by the PM Office.

“Inshallah, the people will get sufficient relief owing to government’s efforts and various steps taken in this regard,” Mr Khan added.

He said: “PTI came to power in a difficult situation and it is presently confronted with mafias and inflation.”
