Governor Punjab Sardar Salim Haider Khan stated that the decision to ban Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was made solely by the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leadership without consulting the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP). Speaking to the media, Sardar Salim expressed that the PPP will address this issue in its party meeting and Central Executive Committee (CEC). He added that, in his opinion, PTI should be considered in two parts: those involved in the May 9 incidents should be punished, but action against those patriotic to the country is inappropriate. It is pertinent to mention here that the federal information minister Ata Tarar has announced that the government has decided to ban PTI.
