PTI reacts to caretaker PM's statement
PTI spokesperson said that an election conducted without Chairman PTI will be unconstitutional, immoral.

Islamabad: Responding to caretaker prime minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar's statement, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) termed the election as immoral and unconstitutional without PTI chairman Imran Khan.
PTI spokesman stated that caretaker prime minister's statement is a manifestation of insensitivity in the state structure. Tehreek-e-Insaf is the largest single representative political party of Pakistan.
He said that an election conducted without Chairman PTI will be unconstitutional, immoral. People will never accept such elections.
Spokesman PTI added: “Anwaar-ul-Haq should immediately explain his statement, as the caretaker prime minister, he should separate his government from the scandalous projects”.
It is pertinent to note that caretaker premier Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar said that transparent elections can be held without Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan or hundreds of jailed members of the party.
While giving an interview to the US News Agency, Anwar-ul-Haq said that jailed PTI members were involved in illegal activities of vandalism and arson. Thousands of PTI members who are not involved in illegal activities will be able to participate in the election.
The premier continued to say: “I am not pursuing personal revenge against any politician including Imran Khan. If anyone is caught breaking the law, we will ensure the supremacy of the law”.
