PTI leader Asad Qaiser has condemned the raid on the residence of their presidential candidate Mahmood Khan Achakzai.

Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, Qaiser said, “A message was given that if someone makes a speech in the NA, his result will be this.”

“I want to make this clear; that time of fear has passed. We have come out of all situations,” the PTI MNA said while referring to the crackdown against the party during the past year.

Recalling his struggle of “29 years” in the PTI, Qaiser said that his party founder Imran Khan has decided to “remain in the country and face the circumstances”.

“Neither our leader will bow down, nor will we,” he added.
