PTI leaders demand opportunity for ideological worker on vacant Senate seat
Staff Reporter
Peshawar:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Lower Dir’s grassroots worker Malik Abdul Rehman and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Zakat Committee focal person Waqar-ul-Mulk Tajik, along with party workers, addressed a press conference at the Peshawar Press Club on Thursday, stating that PTI currently needs strong and ideological grassroots leadership.
They said there is an impression that non-ideological elements are being considered for the vacant Senate seat, which they strongly condemned. According to them, Malik Fakhar Zaman — who made personal and financial sacrifices and endured hardships for the party — is being ignored despite standing with the party during difficult times and consistently playing the role of a loyal supporter of Chairman Imran Khan.
They further stated that under the current circumstances, Malik Fakhar Zaman is the best available choice for the party. They added that he had demonstrated his political capability by defeating strong candidates in internal party elections.
During the press conference, the speakers also expressed concern that the party currently lacks an effective administrative as well as organizational structure, emphasizing the need for serious attention to these issues.
They urged the party’s central leadership to consider Malik Fakhar Zaman’s services, sacrifices, and loyalty while awarding the party ticket for the upcoming election on the vacant Senate seat, adding that such a decision would be a valuable gesture for party workers.
