The expressed the hope, “Inshah Allah, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf will not only win the local body elections but also elect Imran Khan as a prime minister of the country once again.”

The governor further said that the party was united under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan.

He observed that a single person could not make anyone even an MNA, adding that Imran Khan had become the Prime Minister of Pakistan due to his incessant 22-year struggle, support of party workers and public’s votes; not because of someone’s favour and kindness.

“I have never claimed that I am the person who has made Nawaz Sharif, Benazir Bhutto Shaheed and Imran Khan prime minister of the country. Pakistan is a democratic country where we elect our representatives through the power of vote. I am proud of becoming a part of the struggle of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and mobilizing the workers all over Punjab. Tehreek-e-Insaf won the general elections of 2018 and Imran Khan became the Prime Minister of the country by the support of the masses,” he further said.

The governor urged the political parties to keep the Armed Forces of Pakistan away from political affairs, adding that the whole nation was with its armed forces for the war on terror and national defense.
