Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sardar Latif Khosa hoped on Tuesday that the masses will vote for his party in the forthcoming by-elections.

Speaking to media in Lahore, Khosa said, "When were we allowed to stage rallies during the general elections? The masses had expressed their anger by casting votes for us in the general elections."

He took a jibe at the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), saying, "There exists no democracy in the PPP."

"The farmers and people in general are facing hardships in Sindh," Khosa stated.

– 'Pre-poll rigging' started ahead of by-elections –

Separately today, PTI leader Omar Ayub claimed that the “pre-poll rigging” started ahead of the by-elections.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Ayub said: “The RO had been directed to provide Form 45 to the PTI. The incumbent government came into existence through Form 47, which violated the constitution.”

Speaking about the Iran-Israel conflict, Ayub said: “No policy statement has been issued in connection with the Iran-Israel conflict.”

He lamented: “Masses should get ready, as the price of gasoline will be increased again after 15 days.”

Ayub challenged the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) to stage a public gathering in Chaman.

Expressing his thoughts in line with the arrival of a Saudi delegation to Pakistan, Ayub said: “We welcome a Saudi delegation to Pakistan.”

He took a swipe at the Punjab IG, saying, “The Punjab IG is not managing to provide protection to his own police.”

Ayub lamented the “unemployment” in the country, saying, “The masses are facing hardships due to the unemployment.”

He talked about Bushra Bibi, saying, “The cameras were installed in her rooms.”
