TOBA TEK SINGH: After PTI MPA from Gojra Bilal Asghar Warraich changed his loyalty and joined the Jehangir Tarin group in the Punjab Assembly, his eldest brother and former MNA Amjad Ali Warraich, head of the National Muslim League, announced supporting the PTI.

Addressing a press conference at Gojra along with his son Barrister Hassam Ali Warraich, he said that he and his son were of the view that former prime minister Imran Khan fought bravely against the foreign intervention which caused his ouster from the prime ministership through a no-confidence motion. He said the motion was made successful by purchasing the loyalty of some MNAs so they will support Imran Khan unconditionally in the future. Both also led a big rally in Gojra in support of Imran Khan.

Hassam will be a candidate for an NA seat in the next general election against his uncle Khalid Javed Warraich, who is an MNA of PML-N, and for a PP seat against his other uncle Bilal Asghar Warraich (now a PTI MPA).

Gojra PTI activists also took out a separate rally, which was led by PTI defeated NA ticket holder Usama Hamza and ticket holders of PP seats Asad Zaman Cheema and Khalid Bashir.
