Okara (December 17, 2017): Preparation are underway for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s show of political prowess at public rally here later today.
Party chairman Imran Khan and other leaders f the party will address the workers, supporters, and sympathisers.
It would be the first public rally that Imran will be addressing after the Supreme Court’s verdict two days ago that rejected PMLN leader Hanif Abbasi’s petition to disqualify Imran. The court, however, had disqualified party’s general secretary Jehangir Tarin for life.
A 20-foot high and 80-foot long stage is being built to seat the party leaders along with the podium from which the party leaders will address the people.
Some 15,000 chairs have been placed to accommodate the people.
On Saturday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan said that no financial wrongdoing was found against Jahangir Tareen and he was disqualified “only on interpretation of trust deed”.
In a tweet, Imran remarked: “Diff[erence] between JKT [Jahangir Khan Tareen] & NS [Nawaz Sharif] is stark in JKT’s principled position & NS holding on to party office. Also unlike NS who is guilty of corruption, money laundering, tax evasion, concealment of assets; no financial wrongdoing found ag JKT – disqualified only on interpretation of Trust deed.”
Imran further said that the difference between Tareen and deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif is stark, as Nawaz is guilty of corruption, money laundering, tax evasion and concealment of assets.
He added, “JKT you have shown unswerving commitment to the cause of Naya Pakistan & worked with utmost dedication for our cause. For me it doesn’t matter whether you hold a position in PTI or are in Parliament, you will always remain right next to me as we build Naya Pakistan InshaAllah.”
On Friday, the Supreme Court disqualified PTI Secretary General Jahangir Tareen but ruled in favour of PTI Chairperson Imran Khan in its judgment on the disqualification case against the two party leaders.
The chief justice ruled that Imran is not disqualified as a parliamentarian as the petitioner was not directly affected in the foreign funding case
The court had ruled that Tareen cannot be termed honest and stands disqualified for life as per Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution. It also said the PTI leader used suspicious terms in his statements to the court, besides not declaring his offshore company.
