PTI calls for stern action against Faisal Vawda

KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokesman Naeemul Haq apologised to the people of Karachi where his fellow party member Faisal Vawda staged a protest, causing massive traffic jams on many major roads including the main Shahrah-e-Faisal thoroughfare.

“I apologise for the irresponsible act of Vawda. I myself was stuck in traffic for four hours”, he said talking to Geo News.

"Stern action should be taken against Faisal Vawda", he added.

While condemning the protest, he said that Vawda caused trouble to people.

Another PTI leader Imran Ismail said that the party had nothing to do with the protest.

He also said that they were in contacts with high-ups for the release of Vawda.

Vawda was detained by Karachi police and was transferred to Airport Police Station earlier.

The police also resorted to baton-charge to disperse the demonstrators participating in the civil society protest.

Thousands of citizens were stuck in traffic while trying to return home after offices hours due to the traffic jam near Star Gate caused by the civil society protest.
