PTI marks July 25 as 'Youm-e-Tashakkur'

The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) marked July 25 as 'Youm-e-Tashakkur' [Thanksgiving Day] on Thursday on the first anniversary of the 2018 general elections. The main event in this regard was organised at the party's central secretariat. According to central media cell of the party, PTI's Chief Organiser Saifullah Khan Nyazee, Central Secretary General Amir Mehmood Kiyani, Central Information Secretary Ahmed Jawad and other central and provincial leaders attended the cake-cutting ceremony commemorating first year of PTI's success in the parliamentary elections.
In his message, Saifullah Khan Nyazee stated that 25th July is a milestone in Pakistan's political history. The day, he added, when criminals and corrupt elements had been cleansed from the political arena through the power of ballot. He said that after 22 years of tireless struggle, the nation responded to Imran Khan's call for change and their better future and dethroned dynastic ruling elite from power.
Referring to Prime Minister Imran Khan's recent visit to United States, he stated that during his visit Imran Khan established the notion before the world that 'we are a dignified nation.' "Imran Khan's visit is a success story in all aspects and Pakistan after years of patience is making the world recognise itself and endorse its narrative," he marked.
Criticising the opposition, Nyazee stated the corrupt lot is taking revenge from the masses for their embarrassing defeat in the field. "We will not allow these mafias to nurture their agenda in the garb of politics," he said, adding that nation gave PTI the mandate to hold the crooks accountable for plundering this country and its resources. He further said that PTI had pledged to implement rule of law and strengthen state institutions and it would make Pakistan a country envisioned by Allama Iqbal and Quaid-e-Azam.
In a series of tweets with regard to the party's Youm-e-Tashakkur, Special Assistant on Information and Broadcasting Firdous Ashiq Awan said the aspirations of people and 23 year old political struggle of Imran Khan bore fruit in the general elections last year. She said that July 25 was the day of expression of public opinion as on that day the people gave a strong support to the mission of purging the country of corruption. "Those who used the politics for loot and plunder are being brought to justice," she said, adding the nation had rejected their dynastic politics.
