PTI leadership leaves after making TikToks outside Adiala
Previously, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders left the protest site outside Adiala Jail after recording TikTok videos, triggering anger among party workers on Tuesday.
PTI workers remained gathered outside Adiala from morning till night in support of their leadership, but only a few leaders were present, including Salman Akram Raja and Punjab Assembly Opposition Leader Moeen Qureshi.
In the cold weather, many workers expressed disappointment over the behaviour of party leaders. They said the leaders recorded TikTok videos for personal publicity and then left, abandoning the workers at the protest site.
The PTI workers also misbehaved with and threatened a journalist who attempted to stop them from chanting slogans against the Pakistan Army.
Earlier, former prime minister and PTI founder Imran Khan’s sisters Aleema Khan, Uzma Khanum, and Noreen Niazi staged a sit-in outside Adiala Jail after being denied permission to meet him.
