| 2018-06-04 |
| [DAWN] Enraged workers of the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... stormed into their own party office, known as Insaf House, off Sharea Faisal, vandalised the facility and smashed the windowpanes in protest over "unjustified" distribution of party tickets for the upcoming general elections on Saturday. The violent episode, however, did not invite police intervention as the PTI leadership restrained the law enforcement agency from intervening, terming the incident an "internal" matter of the party. Party sources said that a meeting of the parliamentary board of PTI’s Sindh chapter was going on when around a dozen men ‐ some armed with sticks ‐ stormed into the office and ransacked several departments inside including the finance and information departments. |
