ATTOCK, May 20: The Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) kicked off its membership campaign in the district on Sunday.  

In this connection, the party set up its camp at Fowara Chowk which was jointly inaugurated by the PTI leaders including former state minister Malik Amin Aslam, former MPA Syed Ejaz Bukhari and former tehsil nazim Qazi Khalid Mehmood.  The PTI leaders and activists have been motivating the people throughout the day to become members of the party by describing the party manifesto.

Earlier, hundreds of PTI workers held a rally which reached Fowara Chowk after passing through Saddiq Road, Truck Stand Road and main bazaar. The participants were holding banners and placards inscribed with slogans in favour of the party chief Imran Khan and against the rulers. Some party workers were also dancing on the drum beat.

Addressing the participants, PTI leaders Malik Amin Aslam, Syed Ejaz Bukhari and Qazi Khalid Mehmood claimed that the PTI would bring change in the country’s political system with the public support soon after coming into power. They said that massive public meetings throughout the country had been a clear signal to both the ruling leadership of the PML-N and the PPP that masses had got fed up with them due to their hypocritical attitude and now the days of both of them had been numbered.

As now people wanted change and accountability of the rulers to bring back the looted national assets, which they had allegedly plundered in their last regimes and to ensure good governance and fair political system in the country, they said and added that it was surprising that soon after public support to PTI and massive public participation in its public meetings, the PML-N leaders had started chanting so-called slogan of “Go Zardari Go” just to befool the people as earlier they had extended all-out help to prolong the PPP rule.
