PAT has accelerated the election campaign of its candidates who are taking part in the upcoming local bodies elections in Lahore. The provincial office holders of the party have been assigned duties in different union councils of the city. Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din along with Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, and the PAT candidates for the office of chairman and deputy chairman, Ch. Naeem-ud-Din Advocate and Ch. Nadeem Gondal visited the UC 239 yesterday and inaugurated newly built office there.

Addressing hundreds of workers on the occasion, Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri said that the people should give votes in favour of the candidates of the party, which has a manifesto of making local government institutions powerful. He said that formation of powerful and responsive local government institutions is part of the ten-point agenda of the PAT. He said that the PAT ticket holders are vanguard of revolution. By putting their stamp on the electoral symbol of ‘motorbike’, they should get them elected. He asked as to how long the people will continue to vote for tried and tested faces that have not brought anything except corruption, misery and poor governance. He said that the PAT candidates will restore the prestige of the local government institutions and deliver justice at the doorsteps of the people.
