PTI AJK activists vow to ‘renew their allegiance’ to PM Imran

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

They made this commitment at the riverside residence of the party’s former secretary general in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and incumbent Minister for Local Government and Rural Development Khawaja Farooq Ahmed.

These activists included office-bearers of the ruling party’s local government and their affiliates. They stressed that it was time for everyone who wanted to see a corruption-free Pakistan to join forces to “teach an unimaginable lesson to the bunch of power-mad politicians”.

These party workers deliberated on Sunday’s journey and decided to begin it from Naluchi Bridge around 10am.

Later, Ahmed, while speaking to reporters at the local press club, said that the enthusiasm and devotion of party workers 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 one hand and talks about Kashmir issue in the most convincing and forceful manner on the other,” he said.

He wondered how opposition parties that had their daggers drawn at each other for years suddenly colluded to oust Prime Minister Imran a year before the end of his constitutional term.

He termed it as an “international agenda”, adding that since Pakistanis are aware of these “nefarious designs”, the premier is receiving “overwhelming support” from all parts of the country.
