PTI welcomes EC’s decision

The Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI), Karachi, has welcomed the Election Commission’s decision to allot election symbols to only those parties that would elect their representatives through intra-party polls.

PTI spokesman Faisal Vawda said that the country was being ruled by autocrats for 60 years, “and these monarchs would never transform their family limited companies into democratic organisations”.

He said that both Zardari and Nawaz were reluctant to transfer leadership to anyone other than their kith and kin, which shows their tacit understanding to monopolise democracy in the country. He said that Imran Khan was the only political leader who had been working with the support of different segments of society for the last 16 years.

Meanwhile, the PTI condoled the death of former Jamat-e-Islami chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed. The PTI leaders prayed for the departed soul and expressed sympathy with the bereaved family.
