PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has announced that his party would start campaigning for the 2018 general election as soon as the holy month of Ramzan ends.
He was addressing the media on Friday at the residence of MNA Noor Alam Khan who recently joined the PTI after leaving the Pakistan Peoples Party.
“We will clean-sweep Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa in the upcoming general election” said Imran Khan.
He said that Noor Alam Khan joining the PTI is a major development in KP’s political landscape.
Discussing the federal budget he said as expected the budget did not bring any major reliefs for the poor in the country. He also said that the use of tear gas against the farmers who were protesting ahead of the budget session in Islamabad, was nothing but brutal adding that in the last four years, no proper relief has been given to farmers by the federal government.
He also said that Go Nawaz Go has become a national slogan since everyone now wants a change in leadership.
Imran also visited Arbab Amir, who has recently joined the PTI after leaving the Awami National Party (ANP), cordially welcoming him into the PTI.
