Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, while claiming that VIP culture has ended in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on Sunday vowed that no roads would be closed for prime minister’s protocol in the province.
“Despite the fact that I’m facing life threats, we can’t put the lives of people in danger by leaving them waiting for hours at traffic signals due to our security protocols,” he said while speaking to media persons in Karachi.
Khan, who later left for the airport without any VIP protocol, claimed that his party’s government has eliminated ‘VIP culture’ from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Replying to a question about protests from disgruntled party workers yesterday, Khan said that PTI activists were venting their anger over nominations of office-bearers for the upcoming intra-party polls. Khan also admitted that mistakes were made in the past elections in his party, and said, “We have learnt a lesson.”
Earlier, Imran Khan met enraged Karachi supporters on Sunday and assured them not to repeat any mistakes during intra-party elections.
Talking about the party elections, he said that the workers would elect their leaders on their own.
