LAHORE: Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that mere few thousand people turned up at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rally and Imran Khan led a flopped show. Talking to media after the PTI rally on Saturday night, he said decline in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s popularity since 2013 general elections was alarming for the party leadership. “It was a pity that the party, which bagged 800,000 votes in the general elections from Lahore some three years back, could only attract some 7,000 to 8,000 people only,” the provincial law minister responded. He said the pale faces of the PTI leadership at the rally reflected the sense of loss and embarrassment at low turn-up. The minister said that the PTI leadership should reorganise its party rather than resorting to the politics of plunging the country into instability. To a question, Rana Sanaullah said that Lahoris rejected PTI chairman’s negative politics of confrontation, adding that Imran Khan should work for the progress of Pakistan instead of criticizing all the time. He said PTI should first focus on bringing the necessary “change” in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa before pointing fingers at others. app
