PTI Punjab Organiser Chaudhary Sarwar Friday congratulated Chaudhry Ishfaq and the PTI team for securing the majority in Toba Tek Singh municipal committee elections.
Addressing a press conference at the PTI Lahore Secretariat, Sarwar said that out of a house of 29, PTI has 15 elected councillors hence PTI is able to form a government in the Toba Tek Singh (TTS) municipal committee. PTI leader from TT Singh Mian Ishfaq and 15 newly-elected councilors from municipal committee of TTS were also present on the occasion.
A meeting of all councillors from TT Singh MC was held at the PTI Secretariat Lahore where it was unanimously agreed by all that the Chairman of TTS MC will be Atif Safdar Randhawa and vice chairman will be Saeed ur Rehman Tahir. Sarwar said this is a great beginning for PTI.
Sarwar also alleged that PMLN was playing the politics of victimisation and registering fake FIRs against the PTI winning candidates. He claimed that the government has sealed three marriage halls that belonged to the PTI Chairman candidate Atif Randhawa and his family and the police are conducting raids on the homes of all candidates who won the LG election and on those who are with PTI.
“The PML-N has set a record of using state machinery against their opponents and have found the most innovative ways of carrying out electoral fraud. Despite these tactics, PMLN- is not in a position to form the government in TTS and PTI candidates will form the government in TT Singh MC,” Sarwar claimed.
He also said the PMLN is threatening the winning candidates who had pledged their support for PTI for the seat of the chairman. He said that the will of the people and the need for ‘change’ had come through in these results.
He said that PTI would not sit quiet and be a spectator on PMLN’s harassment to PTI candidates. He said the PTI would launch a protest movement throughout Punjab if PMLN did not stop their politics of intimidation. PTI leader Mian Ishfaq from TTS said that current government was worse than a dictator’s regime and the government had found new ways of harassing PTI candidates and new ways of electoral fraud.
