TAXILA: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) leader Zulfi Bukhari while condemning the arrest of Fawad Chaudhary said they are not afraid of any targeted political victimisation and stand by their leader Imran Khan.

He was talking to the media persons in Attock on Saturday. He added: “Had the rulers fought inflation and debt with half of the rigour it was using against the opposition it would have solved the economic crisis long ago.”

He said the government wanted to silence the mouthpiece of the party by arresting Mr Chaudhry but they would fail in their designs.

Mr Bukhari said fabricated cases and illegal detentions could not change their loyalties and commitments made with the masses of Pakistan. He said the forcibly imposed and incompetent rulers had pushed the country to the brink of political and financial collapse. He said he was ready to face any kind of victimisation or baseless case by the government.
