Khawaja Asif mocks PTI for the party’s newly appointed chairman

Khawaja Asif mocked PTI for the party’s newly appointed chairman Barrister Gohar Khan.

Taking to social media on Sunday, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Khawaja Asif took a jib at Barrister Gohar Ali Khan’s election as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) new chairman who has been PPP member for 14 years.

In a post on X-Platform, Khawaja Asif censured Imran Khan for handpicking Asif Ali Zardari’s “protégé” as the party’s new chairman.

“Imran Khan liked a diamond carved by Zardari sahib so much that he handed over his chair to him,” he wrote along with a photo of an old banner featuring Gohar Khan.

Gohar Khan is a former member of the Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarian (PPPP) and contested the 2008 elections on the Zardari-led party’s ticket

PML-N senior leader stressed that the former premier is not willing to trust his colleagues who have been with him for years.

“It is difficult for a person who has deceived people all his life to trust others,” he wrote.

Barrister Gohar Khan was elected the new Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf (PTI) chairman unopposed a day earlier.

PTI’s Chief Election Commissioner Niazullah Niazi announced the results on Saturday following the intra-party election.
