– PTI reacts to ECP's decision over intra-party elections –

Earlier on Friday, the PTI reacted to the Election Commission of Pakistan's (ECP) decision over the intra-party elections.

According to details, the PTI took a dig at the ECP, accusing the electoral watchdog of "malign intent." The PTI had denounced the recent police crackdown in Rahim Yar Khan’s NA-171 constituency, calling it an instance of "police brutality" ahead of the by-election.

Meanwhile, the committee had called on the ECP to address "illegal raids and arrests" by the Punjab police and to ensure transparency and fairness in the electoral process.

The party emphasised the need for the ECP to eliminate obstacles to the election process and guarantee a transparent election.

The core committee hoped that the public gathering will be held at any cost and all the party organisations and wings will ensure to make the "gathering successful."
