KARACHI:

PTI Sindh president, Haleem Adil Sheikh, during a press conference at Insaf House, announced a province-wide protest campaign against the 'stolen mandate' from February 1 to February 8. He also declared February 8 as a 'Black Day' to mark the alleged electoral fraud in the 2024 general elections.

He criticised the government for imposing restrictions on media and suppressing freedom of expression. He stated, "After the PECA Act, the nation is suffering. First, we were oppressed, and now the media is being silenced. We stand in solidarity with media and strongly oppose every conspiracy to stifle the voice of freedom."

Haleem claimed that PTI's mandate was stolen through Form 47, despite the overwhelming public support for the party. "Our election symbol was taken away, our campaign was restricted, yet the people voted for PTI," he said. He provided detailed statistics, claiming that PTI had won 174 out of 266 National Assembly seats according to Form 45, but through alleged manipulation, the party's win was reduced to just 93 seats through Form 47.

In Karachi, PTI reportedly won 20 out of 22 National Assembly seats, but through Form 47, 17 seats were allegedly gifted to MQM and 5 to PPP. Similar fraud was reported in Lahore, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi, where PTI's seats were allegedly reduced and given to rival parties.
