- Standing crop of democracy being destroyed through locust horde of 14 parties: PTI
- Dejected faces show as if they attending own political funeral: Hammad
- No one’s departure to affect PTI or Khan: Gandapur
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has mocked at Pervez Khattak for making a new political party and said that the “monsoon season is under way” and political parties were “springing up like weed”.
Earlier in the day, the former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister and ex-PTI leader Pervez Khattak officially announced the launch of a new political party called the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarian (PTI-P).
Reportedly, at least 57 Provincial and National Assembly Members including the former Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan have joined the PTI-P.
In a statement, the PTI Spokesperson said: “Attempts are being made to destroy the standing crop of democracy in the country with a locust horde of 14 parties.”
پرویز خٹک کی جانب سے جماعت کے اعلان کا معاملہ
مون سون جاری ہے اور ملک میں ساون کے گھاس کیطرح سیاسی جماعتیں اُگ رہی ہیں، ترجمان پاکستان تحریک انصاف
ملک میں جمہوریت کی کھڑی فصل کو 14 جماعتی ٹڈی دَل سے تباہ کرکے سیاست کو جھاڑ جھنکار سے آباد کرنے کی کوشش جاری ہے،
میدانِ سیاست…

The PTI Spokesperson said that in politics, the officials of the ‘Department of Agriculture’ were working hard day and night in the challenge of cultivating these new crops.
Taking a dig at the formation of the Istehkam-i-Pakistan Party in Lahore, the PTI said: “That seed turned out rotten and was ground into the soil even before harvest.”
Similarly, it said: “The seed in KP called ‘Parliamentarian’ will also be washed away in the first rain of public reaction.” Nonetheless, the party said it was grateful to the “Department of Agriculture” and its staff for “exposing the dirty eggs involved in behind-the-scenes conspiracies and separating them from PTI”.
It was said that domestic politics changing various colors and the era of “love for a murderer, compassion for the deceased” and “sajdah to the creator, support for the devil” has passed.
The PTI Spokesperson went on to say that the nation stood with the PTI Chairman Imran Khan who held the flag of true freedom and the rule of law.
Meanwhile, the PTI leader Hammad Azhar said the faces of the new faction’s members showed disappointment. “All of them know that they are attending their own political funeral, not a new party launch,” he said.

The PTI KP President Ali Amin Gandapur said no one’s departure would affect the party or its chairman Imran.
Gandapur pilloried the lawmakers in the new party, asserting that they “should not forget that they are parliamentarians because of PTI and Imran Khan”.
The party leader asserted that the PTI’s voter base still stood intact and the party would defeat all others to form its government in the elections.
