PTI central information secretary Raoof Hasan has alleged that a “reign of terror” had been unleashed on the party for the past 22 months under the ‘London Plan’ to dismantle PTI and remove its founding chairman Imran Khan from the political scene.

However, he claimed that the people, through power of their vote on February 8, would take revenge for every injustice being meted out to them.

Addressing a press conference — while being flanked by Senate Standing Committee for Human Rights Chairman Walid Iqbal, former advisor to prime minister on accountability retired Brig Musaddiq Abbasi and former Punjab advocate general Ahmad Awais — Hasan said PTI, its leaders and workers were subjected to the worst state terrorism and barbarism after the “regime change conspiracy” of April 9, 2022 to clear the path for other parties.

“All political parties could be seen holding public gatherings across the country but PTI even did not allow holding corner meetings,” Iqbal recalled, urging people especially youth and women to come out in large numbers to vote.
