LAHORE, Sep 21 (NNI): Senior Provincial Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb on Saturday criticized Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for its inability to draw a large crowd ahead of its scheduled rally.
Using the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Aurangzeb remarked that despite the rally’s scheduled start time approaching, PTI had yet to fill even three dozen chairs.
In her statement, Aurangzeb sarcastically referred to PTI’s claims of revolution and popularity, describing the empty chairs as a “pathetic sight.”
She accused the party of attempting to mislead its supporters by sharing outdated and manipulated videos of previous rallies on social media. According to Aurangzeb, this was a failed effort to create a false narrative of mass support.
The senior minister further claimed that PTI had been rejected by Punjab and was now attempting to stage what she termed an “anarchic circus” with the help of government employees and machinery from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
She highlighted the use of KP’s public resources, including rescue vehicles, ambulances, and cranes, to create political chaos in Punjab, calling it a reflection of PTI’s true nature.
Aurangzeb also shared her party’s response, stating that the “real scenes” from the ground were being released by the authorities to dispel any doubts.
“Welcome to Lahore,” she said in a pointed remark aimed at PTI supporters. NNI
