Peshawar:<\/strong> Tensions ran high as PTI workers and supporters staged a strong protest over the alleged removal of Irfan Saleem, the PTI district president for Peshawar, from the Senate election candidate list.<\/p>\n

The protest was marked by a press conference where participants expressed their anger, grief, and unwavering support for their leader.<\/p>\n

During the gathering, workers emphasized that their opposition was not directed against any individual but was a stand against what they termed as unjust decisions. Irfan Saleem, who rose from being a service worker in the party\u2019s locality to holding the significant position of district president, has become a symbol of resilience for PTI supporters.<\/p>\n

The protestors accused certain individuals, including Barrister Saif and former PTI General Secretary Jalal, of conspiring to exclude Saleem\u2019s name through questionable means.<\/p>\n

They claimed that Saleem\u2019s name was removed from the Senate list through a conspiracy, with allegations that some involved like Barrister Saif\u2014have suspicious backgrounds, including visits to Adiala Jail.<\/p>\n

Supporters also revealed that Irfan Saleem has begun receiving threats urging him to withdraw his nomination papers, but he has refused to back down.<\/p>\n

The protesters demanded a review of the Senate candidate list, calling for the removal of opportunists and individuals they described as \u201cATM-like\u201d figures, including Jalal.<\/p>\n

The rally concluded with a resolve to stand firm and continue their struggle for justice, emphasizing their loyalty to PTI and Founder of PTI\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n

They reiterated that this is a fight against unfair political tactics, not against any individual.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
