In Lahore, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf assembled in all four by-election districts to demonstrate in force against inflation and unchecked price increases as they viewed Imran Khan’s speech on large-screen televisions.
Women and children were among the numerous demonstrators who made it to the designated areas in the by-election constituencies. They were carrying banners, placards, and party flags with slogans critical of the foreign administration.
The existing administration, according to PTI Central Punjab President Dr. Yasmin Rashid, General Secretary Hammad Azhar, and party candidates, has crushed the masses and turned the country into a nightmare for the people. They said that while the poor majority couldn’t even afford two basic meals a day, the rulers were only interested in robbing the country of its wealth.
The PTI leaders claimed that load shedding and continually rising prices had forced the general public into a precarious situation. They claimed that in order to protect itself, the PML-N government kept busy fulfilling the IMF’s obligations while doing little to provide relief to the people.
