PTI activists from Azad Kashmir vow to renew allegiance to Imran

MUZAFFARABAD: A large number of ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) activists on Saturday vowed to “renew their allegiance” to Prime Minister Imran Khan by showing up at Sunday’s grand power show in the federal capital in big numbers in the face of “appalling intrigues against him by the gang of power-hungry politicians.”

The commitment was made by them at the riverside residence of PTI’s former central joint secretary and minister for local government and rural development Khawaja Farooq Ahmed.

Participants, including office bearers of local bodies of PTI and its affiliates, stressed that it was high time “everyone who wanted to see a corruption free Pakistan joined forces to teach an unforgettable lesson to the bunch of power-mad politicians” in the country.

They also discussed measures for Sunday’s journey and decided to start it from Naluchi Bridge at about 10am.

Later Mr Ahmed told reporters at the Press Club that the enthusiasm and devotion of PTI activists was exemplary.

“They have decided to firmly rally behind their incorruptible leader Imran Khan who has raised the status of Pakistan with his independent foreign policy on the one hand and talks about the Kashmir issue in the most convincing and forceful manner,” Mr Ahmed said.

He wondered why the opposition parties which had been at daggers drawn for years together had suddenly colluded with each other to oust PM Khan a year before the end of his stipulated constitutional term.

“It’s under an international agenda,” he said, and added: “However, since every Pakistani has full realisation of their nefarious designs PM Khan is receiving overwhelming support from all parts of the country,” he said.
