He said that the Punjab Government, PML-N and MSF have resorted to blatant violence against Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf workers. He warned the Punjab administration of wide spread protests in Lahore if the forged FIRS against PTI and ISF members were not cancelled. He said that the PML-N has been baffled by PTI’s unprecedented 5 day membership campaign in Lahore and is using coercive means to suppress political activities of the party in Punjab. He said PML-N’s failure to control criminal elements within its ranks has exposed the state of governance in the province. Providing details, he said that ISF and PTI workers staged a peaceful protest on Sunday against violence on ISF workers by criminal elements of PML-N. Rather than taking action against those involved in violence, Punjab police lodged FIRs against dozens of ISF and PTI workers under 16 MPO, he added.
