PTI leader Asad Qaiser has lamented the “180 seats stolen” from the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), the new home for PTI-backed lawmakers.

Speaking to the media in Islamabad, Qaiser said, “You have no respect for our mandate and the 30 million votes we got.”

“A fake prime minister is sitting on the seat right now. And how can a fake PM take this country out of crisis?” he questioned.

“We don’t consider Shehbaz Sharif a legitimate prime minister in any capacity. He himself knows he’s fake,” Qaiser said. “I am scared to think how this country will survive. God forbid there’s a revolution in this country,” he added.

Qaiser warned that the PTI will take to the streets to protest against the mandate “stolen” from them.
