Her so-called development agenda is limited to TikTok videos, and the public has rejected these \u2018TikTok projects\u2019 with a decisive response in the elections.\u201d<br \/>\nHe further alleged that the fake government broke all previous records of rigging in the Sialkot by-elections, claiming, \u201cReturning officers carried out unprecedented electoral manipulation to ensure the victory of a losing candidate. This by-election served as a referendum against the fake regime, which is why the results were changed overnight.\u201d<br \/>\nDr. Saif asserted that altering election outcomes cannot reduce Imran Khan\u2019s popularity, stating, \u201cImran Khan remains the heartbeat of the nation. No amount of coercion or electoral fraud can change the public\u2019s affection for him.\u201d<br \/>\nConcluding his statement, he said that from Khyber to Karachi, the people stand firmly with Imran Khan. \u201cThe Sharif family can only win elections through rigging because they have no performance to show. The public votes on performance, and the PML-N has none to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DLP Report PESHAWAR Advisor to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on
