During the session, Imran Khan said that thousands of people came out of their homes to support PTI’s long march not to see PTI lawmakers sitting with the corrupt leaders.

The core committee, however, decided to actively take part in the upcoming by-polls on the vacant seats of the Punjab Assembly. They decided that PTI will resist the corrupt political party on the electoral ground.
