Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senior Vice-President Fawad Chaudhry rejected the appointment of Naqvi as caretaker Punjab chief executive and vowed to launch a massive campaign against “this system”.
Reacting to the decision, Fawad said: “No other options left but taking to the streets against this system.”
He added that they rejected the ECP’s decision about appointing a “controversial” person to the key post.
Taking a jibe at the electoral watchdog, he said, “The ECP never disappointed them.”
Fawad asked the PTI’s activists to prepare themselves for a massive campaign under the leadership of Imran Khan.
Taking to Twitter, Fawad Chaudhry warned that people would “now make their own decisions”. He wrote, “[We] reject the appointment of Mohsin Raza Naqvi [as caretaker chief minister]. Asad Umar also took to the micro-blogging site and termed the ECP’s decision as a “joke to the Constitution”.
Criticising the decision, another senior PTI leader, Shafqat Mahmood tweeted: “The one man considered most unsuitable for this position.” He also claimed, “ This amounts to virtually handing over power to [PML]N and PPP to conduct elections in Punjab.”
