ISLAMABAD, June 9 (TNS): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers staged a protest outside party chairman Imran Khan’s Bani Gala residence on Saturday over unfair distribution party tickets for the upcoming general election.
The workers alleged that the party “did not issue tickets on the basis of merit”.
The dozens of workers gathered outside Imran’s residence rejected the issuance of ticket to Ghulam Sarwar Khan from NA-59 and demanded that Ajmal Raja be fielded from the Rawalpindi constituency.
Meanwhile, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry claimed that the party has issued tickets to “strong candidates”.
“It will not be easy to contest against our candidates,” Chaudhry said.
A day earlier, PTI announced party candidates for the majority of the national and provincial assembly constituencies for the general election scheduled to be held on July 25.
