LAHORE, Aug 28 (TNS): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Monday lost support from Jamat-e-Islami (JI) for upcoming NA-120 by-poll.

According to details, a meeting was scheduled between both parties but PTI delegation failed to reach the venue that enraged JI members who later gave red chit to PTI’s candidate.

JI leader Ameer-ul-Azeem has said that JI will put forward its own candidate for the by-poll in NA-120.  The polling in the constituency will be held on September 17.

On the other hand, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had also launched its electoral campaign as Maryam Nawaz claimed that PML-N will win the contest.

However, PTI chief Imran Khan said that the by-polls in NA-120 would see who stands by the top court and judiciary in Pakistan and who is against it. He said that NA-120 by-election is the decisive event and that the people of Pakistan would decide ‘which Pakistan’ they want.
