Another first: PTI to announce its youth policy

Shah Mahmood Qureshi accused both PPP and PML-N of using public funds for personal popularity.

LAHORE: Imran Khan will announce the party’s youth policy on November 4, said Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Vice Chairman of PTI. He was talking to media at an Eid Milan party. He said that PTI would be the first party to take such an initiative and would implement the youth policy if voted into power. He asserted that youth are the backbone of PTI and more young people are joining the party because of its policies. Taking a jibe at PML-N, Qureshi said that PTI would not provide transport nor start a publicity campaign to attract youth for its convention. He pointed out that PML-N has been trying in vain to damage the PTI vote bank by “forcing” students to attend the Punjab Youth Festival and distributing laptops amongst them. He accused both PPP and PML-N of using public funds for personal popularity.
