“The imported government has been targeting the judiciary to hide the violation of constitution on their account, “said PTI chairman. Khan criticised the government for creating further difficulties for people with putting an end to public welfare projects including the health card service. He said they [the rulers] cannot even face the public after the record breaking inflation as the poor are suffering.

Imran Khan said people have seen their true faces and why are they running from elections. Shahbaz Gill said that the party workers stand with the PTI’s ideology.
