Prejudiced Behaviour?: ‘No room for K-P in Punjab’

Azam Khan said police officials came to his hotel and directed the management to refuse accommodation to K-P residents

As thousands of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers are gathering at Faisalabad to protest rigging in the general elections, the federal and Punjab government have allegedly directed the police to strictly monitor hotels and make sure that residents of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) are not given accommodation. According to a notification issued from PTI’s K-P Media Cell, Azam Khan Swati has said police officials came to his hotel and directed the management to refuse accommodation to residents of K-P. Swati said the prime minister of Pakistan represents the entire nation and prejudice among the provinces is detrimental for the federation.
