SIALKOT:
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) president Makhdoom Javed Hashmi said on Monday that the PTI will form its government in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province by forming an alliance with political parties that have a “clean, clear and honest” political record.
He was addressing a press conference at the Jinnah House on Paris Road. Hashmi said that the PTI was in a strong position to form government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
He also said that the PTI would play its role as an active opposition in the National Assembly and the provincial assemblies in Punjab and Sindh. He urged the stakeholders to sit together to find an amicable solution to violence in Karachi in the larger national interest.
To a question, he said PPP’s Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan’s decision to withdraw from NA-110 in favour of a PTI candidate was her personal decision.
“How can the PPP support us?”
On rigging
The PTI president said that his party had collected all evidence of rigging in the elections.
Accusing the PML-N of being behind rigging, Hashmi said his party would soon place the evidence before the nation in the form of white paper.
He said PTI’s opponents had also tried to rig the polls in Islamabad, but failed.
