Decision-makers should realise their mistake: PTI

Asad Umar says Imran won’t return to National Assembly

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Asad Umar Sunday said that his party’s chairman Imran Khan would not return to the National Assembly after winning the latest by-elections. In conversation with journalists as the results were pouring in, Umar said: “Today’s election was a referendum. Imran Khan will not return to the assembly after winning and he will also not take the oath.” “Our only demand is to give people the right to vote,” the senior PTI leader said. The former federal minister said the party’s chairman has directed all workers to observe “Youm-e-Tashakur”. The PTI secretary general went on to say that “decision-makers should realise their mistake”. He asked: “Is there any ambiguity in the minds of the decision-makers?” He expressed hope that the people in power would made a decision without putting the public in trouble. “The public expressed its anger for what they suffered during the past six months,” he added. The PTI leader said that people have rejected the “incompetent mafia” and the “market” set up in the Sindh House. The people have understood that Pakistan has reached an important turning point, Umar said, adding that the people have two options – join the war of “foreign countries or take decisions in line with national interests”.
