Protest or sit-in? PTI undecided about Aug 5 power show

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Faisal Chaudhry said on Tuesday his party has not decided yet whether it would be a protest or sit-in on August 5.

Speaking on live TV show Dastak, Chaudhry said jailed former prime minister Imran Khan has no mistrust in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. Referring to Gandapur’s statement about a 90-day protest sit-in, Chaudhry said the KP chief minister took a U-turn on the 90-day sit-in statement due to the criticism it drew from the masses.

Commenting on the tiff between PTI leaders Waqas Akram Sheikh and Alia Hamza, Chaudhry said both leaders should apologise over this misconduct. He said that he would strongly condemn this kind of mistreatment of Alia Hamza. He said he heard that PTI’s Lahore event was a successful one, but he could not understand this.
