LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 24th Jan, 2022 ) :Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar has said that no political figure and party enjoy the kind of popular public support that Prime Minister Imran Khan and Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf (PTI) have won among the masses.
Talking to the media during his visit to Sarai Alamgir (Gujrat) on Monday, he said Prime Minister Imran Khan under the banner of PTI held the largest political and public rallies in country's history, adding the public following for Imran Khan has increased with every passing day.
"The Opposition should focus on next general elections, not rallies", Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar responded, adding the opposition political parties should not waste their time on the streets demanding polls and the next general elections will not be held before 2023.
