– PTI-Parliamentarians ready to contest elections: Pervez Khattak –
PTI Parliamentarians Chairman Pervez Khattak said on Saturday that despite his party being relatively new, it is ready to contest the upcoming polls.
Expressing his thoughts in Peshawar, the former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) chief minister said: “The Supreme Court’s verdict on Friday had ended all the rumours revolved around holding the elections. We welcome the apex court’s verdict.”
“Those who are complaining about not having a level playing field should contest the elections,” Khattak said.
He recounted the contributions he made to KP. “We had rolled out the health card project in KP. The Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) had imposed restrictions on the health card.”
