PTI leader Gohar Khan has said his party will hold a peaceful protest across the country on Saturday (Feb 17) against the “marginalisation of the PTI”.

“For this purpose, we are inviting all political parties whether it is the GDA, JI, JUI-F, TLP, ANP or any other party that believed the mandate was changed and rigging took place,” he said.

Gohar added that the PTI would record a peaceful protest on Saturday afternoon and requested the public to participate in it. “These elections were very critical […] and we won’t let our mandate be stolen.”

In response to a question, Gohar refuted reports regarding talks with the PPP.
