LONDON: PTI’s supporters on Sunday held a protest outside the Pakistan High Commission in British capital against the alleged minus Imran Khan formula as the party’s belief that attempts are underway to disqualify PTI’s Chairman Imran Khan from electoral politics.
The London protest was held in coordination with the ones held across Pakistan on the call of the party’s central office to express solidarity with Imran Khan.
The London demonstration was attended by the newly elected PTI office bearers, including PTI London’s President Waqas Sagar, Secretary-General Nabeel Qureshi, Senior-Vice President Taqweem Ahsan, and Youth Secretary Aurangzeb Khan, as well as PTI UK’s President Imran Khalil, General-Secretary Rana Hamid Afzal, and Women Secretary Nasreen Memon.
Sahibzada Jahangir, Farzana Mukhtar, Maheen Faisal, Shahid Destageer, Amir Khan and Adnan Shareef, membership coordinator and co-head of the literary society, also addressed participants at the demonstration.
The speakers said they had gathered to show their support for Khan and to send a clear message that the PTI chief should not be disqualified or knocked out through any other means as this will be damaging to Pakistan’s democratic process.
They were carrying placards and banners showing support for their leader and chanted slogans of “minus-one formula na manzoor” outside the Pakistan High Commission for three hours.
