New appointment in Punjab made upcoming election controversial: SMQ

• He said arrest of PTI leader shown government intentions.
• SMQ feared more PTI leaders can be arrested in coming days.
•   He said Mohsin Naqvi appointed as CM despite PTI objection.

MULTAN: Vice Chairman Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Wednesday said the controversial appointment in Punjab and arrest of PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry have shown government intentions.

Addressing a press conference in Multan, former federal minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the caretaker setup is moving ahead under preplanned agenda which makes the election process controversial. He feared more PTI leaders can be arrested in the upcoming days in the country.

He said news of Imran Khan’s arrest has created uncertainty in party leadership and workers. He further said the arrested of former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry is condemnable.

Senior PTI leader said Imran Khan and other party leaders have raised objections to the name of Mohsin Naqvi but he was appointed as Chief Minister of Punjab.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi said a 24-hour-long power breakdown put the country in darkness and any untoward situation can occur during a power outage.

He said Caretaker Government has changed Joint Investigation Team (JIT) members which are probing the murderous attack on Imran Khan.
