ISLAMABAD, July 22: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Friday reacted exasperatedly to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s remarks in a public rally after a landslide victory in Azad Kashmir general elections.
It should be mentioned here that PM Sharif addressed a public gathering in Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir where his party clinched majority seats of Azad Kashmir Legislative Assembly. Sharif took a dig at his political rivals and taunted, “Will those who grabbed merely two seats in the Azad Kashmir polls, be able to run a movement in the
country?”
He also added, “Progress and success in politics are attainable only through development, not through sit-ins.” Commenting on PM Sharif’s remarks, Secretary General PTI Jahangir Khan Tareen said the Prime Minister is overly obsessed with sit-ins (dharna) and his tone and tenor reflects a defeated mindset.
PTI took part in AJK elections for the first time, Tareen asserted adding, “We have laid the foundation of change in Azad Kashmir by taking part in the polls.” -DNA
