ISLAMABAD: Leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the election campaign in charge of party in NA-53 Islamabad Zulfiqar Hussain Bukhari said that the constituency is badly ignored in development programmes.

Addressing a press conference on Saturday, he said the former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi neither did any development work nor made any efforts to resolve civic issues of the area since past 11 years.

He expressed his optimism for his party’s success in the upcoming general elections and vowed to address the issues and challenges being faced by the general public of the area.

The PTI leader alleged that Shahid Khaqan Abbasi along with his secretary was involved in installing illegal gas connections in Bhara Kahu and committing the pre-poll rigging and trying to influence the public opinion.

He further said that the people could never be misled by such tactics and they would use their vote for the larger interest of their country and betterment of the constituency.

PTI Leader Zulfiqar Hussain Bukhari claimed to foil Abbasi’s pre-poll rigging tactics and said that PTI would hold a mammoth public gathering on July 14 to show its strength in the area and their commitment before PTI Chairman Imran Khan.

He said the procession would also apprise the public to show deterrence and resentment on such tacit designs of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz to befool them for their vote.

Zulfi Bukhari said that people had put their trust in Imran Khan and they believe that he would resolve their issues.

To a question, the PTI leader said those party leaders who were not active at the grass root level would be made visible in their respective constituencies while no leniency would be tolerated in this regard.
