Five senior Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders, incarcerated at Lahore’s Kot Lakhpat, on Friday called for the postponement of all protest activities during Ramadan and urged the party to shift its immediate focus towards parliamentary politics. In a joint letter issued to the media from Kot Lakhpat Jail, the party leaders — Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Dr Yasmin Rashid, Ejaz Ahmed Chaudhry, Umar Sarfraz Cheema and Mian Mahmood Rashid — said that, in view of the sanctity of the holy month, every form of protest movement should be deferred.
