He was addressing a convention of social media activists organised by the JI youth wing at a local hotel in Timergara here on Tuesday as chief guest. The convention was also addressed by JI district chief Izazul Mulk Afkari, former MNA Sahibzada Yaqub Khan, former MPA Saeed Gul, Shad Nawaz Khan, JI youth wing district president Ateequr Rehman and others.

Sirajul Haq said that politics of both PDM and PTI revolved around the appointment of chief of army staff as they had nothing to do with the people and their miseries.
