Imran to head proposed review committee
LAHORE (Dunya News) – In connection with the issuance of tickets to the candidates for the Punjab Assembly polls, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan held on Saturday the consultations over constituting a new committee.
Mr Khan had consulted on forming a new committee in a bid to remove any reservations of the PTI workers in line with the ticket awarding procedure.
The deposed premier will head the proposed review committee in terms of the distribution of tickets in Punjab. Other members of the committee will include PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Asad Umar, Ejaz Chaudhry, and others.
On Friday, Mr Khan said that those who were involved in violence were repeating the history of East Pakistan.

Taking to Twitter, the deposed premier lamented the arrest of PTI stalwart Ali Amin Gandapur, saying, "The manner in which Ali Amin Gandapur is being treated is simply because he is a party ideologue loved by our workers. Those indulging in these brainless actions don't realise they are only humiliating themselves and widening the gap between the state and the nation".
"Meanwhile, our respect and love for Ali Amin have increased manifold as he faces these trials and tribulations with defiant fortitude," he added.
In connection with the ticket review process, Mr Khan said, "I will begin the ticket review process from tomorrow until the 26th of the cases sent to me by the four reconciliation committees that were formed for this purpose."
