PTI chairman stressed that denying space to the leading party may result in non-political forces gaining ground
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar has stated that denying political space to the country’s most popular party will only benefit non-political forces. Speaking to media representatives in the provincial capital, he emphasized that curbing political participation could destabilize the country. “If the most popular party is not given space, non-political forces will gain the advantage,” Gohar warned, urging the authorities to reconsider their stance.
He highlighted that PTI had consistently sought the necessary permissions for its rallies, but restrictions were often imposed, making it difficult to conduct events. “This is not a film shoot where you can allot time slots,” he remarked, adding that despite the limitations, PTI adhered to its schedule.
The PTI chairman noted that while leadership from Punjab and Sindh were able to attend the rally, leaders from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were prevented from doing so due to roadblocks. He reiterated the party’s support for Ali Amin Gandapur and criticized recent amendments, which he claimed served only the interests of a few.
Calling on the authorities to ease restrictions, Gohar stated, “Hardships must end for matters to progress. If we continue these experiments in Pakistan, non-political forces will benefit.” He urged the judiciary to focus on strengthening the Supreme Court, dismissing the need for “constitutional courts” and pointing out that the Election Commission’s petition could have been handled in chambers without the necessity of a full hearing. He also noted that PTI has always funded its rallies through party resources without relying on government assistance.
