QUETTA: A former governor of Balochistan and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) leader, Syed Zahoor Ahmed Agha, said on Tuesday the people of Punjab “have rejected the imported government” by making PTI successful in the by-elections.

Speaking at a press conference along with Insaf Youth Wing Quetta President Nazar Zadran, he said former prime minister Imran Khan had never compromised on the country’s economy and national security. “The nation has taught a lesson to those who sold their conscience.”

Mr Agha said the way the “regime was changed in Pakistan” was shameful for the nation. Those with the mindset of slavery had kept the public ignorant for 74 years, he said, adding that Imran Khan “is proud of fulfilling the promises he made to the nation”.
