Angry activists of the ruling PTI on Friday stormed the Sindh House in Islamabad to protest against dissident lawmakers staying at the PPP-led provincial government’s facility citing “security threats” from their own party.
TV footage shows dozens of the ruling party activists barging into the Sindh House and chanting slogans against the group of estranged lawmakers who have announced voting against their party line in the no-trust motion tabled against Prime Minister Imran Khan in the National Assembly.
The development came a day after several PTI lawmakers revealed that they had sought refuge in the Sindh House, fearing the incumbent government action as they have decided to vote on the no-trust move “according to their conscience”.
MNA Raja Riaz of the disgruntled faction, known as the Jahangir Tareen group, claimed that as many as 24 PTI MNAs, including women lawmakers, were present at the facility.
The annoyed PTI workers can be seen in the video scaling the wall of the Sindh House while some of them smashed the door of the building by kicking it down.
The angry workers were led by PTI MPAs Faheem Khan and Ataullah Niazi from Karachi, according to Express News.
