He said that PTI leaders were elected with the founder’s votes and that the goal of today’s meeting was to demonstrate unity. “After this development, our seats were snapped. References were sent against our MNAs and penalties were imposed. When we requested meetings on KP’s budget, they were denied.”
Barrister Gohar claimed, “We will defend the KP government at all costs. Those who want to bring a movement without confidence lack the number. PTI’s government will continue and will continue. If negotiating, concrete steps must be taken.”
