PP-196 by-elections: Imran hoping for good news in NA-122 review

Asks people to show Punjab govt that they have failed to fulfill their promises

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan said on Friday that was hoping for good news for his party as the election tribunal reviews the NA-122, Express News reported.

Addressing a rally in Multan ahead of by-polls scheduled for May 21, the PTI chief said that “this is a very interesting case,” adding that after downing a ‘wicket’ in NA-125, there would be good news for the party in NA-122 as well.

Recalling his four month long protest outside the parliament, Imran said that recently teachers and officials from different departments of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) had camped outside his house in Bani Gala for two months. He said that he never drove them away and in the end heard their demands and a deal was brokered between K-P government and the aggrieved officials.

“Can anyone stage a sit-in outside Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s house?”

Urging people of Multan to vote for PTI’s candidate, Imran said “You need to show PML-N that they have not fulfilled their promises.”

Imran further alleged that the PML-N led government was neglecting the needs of the people, and instead of improving health and education system in the province, the Punjab government was "wasting" billions on building Metro bus projects.
