PTI-backed candidates elected to the Punjab Assembly have chanted slogans in favour of their party and ex-premier Imran Khan, as they gathered outside the assembly.

According to video footage, the newly elected lawmakers, who recently joined the Sunni Ittehad Council as per the PTI’s directions, chanted “Imran Khan, Imran Khan” as they reacted to chants from their political rivals in the PML-N.

The PTI-supported lawmakers could be hearing chanting: “Who will save Pakistan? Imran Khan, Imran Khan.”
