Peshawar: Advisor to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information and Public Relations, Barrister Dr. Saif, strongly criticized the federal government, calling it incompetent and illegitimate. He accused the government of politically targeting qualified Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidates by disqualifying them without just cause.“These candidates are being punished simply because they won with a clear mandate, as shown in Form-45,” said Barrister Dr. Saif. He claimed the disqualifications are part of a plan to bring in preferred candidates using Form-47 manipulation.He also alleged that fake cases are being used to sideline PTI candidates and accused the Election Commission of losing its neutrality, calling it the “B-team of the illegitimate government.”Barrister Dr. Saif said the government was clearly nervous about PTI’s upcoming protest on August 5 and was trying to stop it through unfair tactics. “These cheap tricks won’t work. This protest will be the final blow to this fake government,” he said.He added that the government can no longer block the release of Imran Khan, as the public is fully energized and ready to fight for real freedom.Protest preparations are underway not just in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but across the country, he noted, and PTI workers are eagerly awaiting August 5.“In the end, the power of the people will defeat all the plans of this fake government,” he concluded.
