In response to Federal Minister for Information Ata Tarar’s press conference, PTI Sindh President Haleem Adil Sheikh stated, whatever these people are thinking, nothing will happen. It is impossible to ban Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Article 6 should be applied to those who snatched our symbol in the elections, shut down social media, and turned the whole country into a prison on election day. These people are exhausted and are using their last tactics.”
Haleem Adil Sheikh further said, “The Supreme Court’s 8 judges have ruled that PTI is a political party and will remain so. PTI is the largest political party in the country. How can these Form 47 rats impose a ban on us? They cannot ban PTI. These people have been exposed, and their wrong decisions are increasing anger among the nation. If they take any action, the Supreme Court stands with law and justice. Our Chairman has told us to put our foot on the brake. If Imran Khan asks us to accelerate, these people will be swept away. They have seen trailers in Kashmir, Kenya, and Sri Lanka. Do they want to take the nation in that direction? Do not push us, we do not want to go that way.” he added.
PTI Sindh leader Barrister Ali Tahir stated that the elected members under Form 47 had no response, reiterating that I was the first to file a petition against election rigging in NA-238. The court fined MQM candidate Sadiq Iftikhar one lakh rupees for wasting the court’s time. Tahir assured that the NA-238 petition would be resolved within 90 days, as fake candidates under Form 47 were avoiding public scrutiny.
