According to Imran, the decision of awarding tickets came from parliamentary members on the basis of merit.
He also added that he would not take the decision back just because of pressure, urging the party workers to submit review petitions which he would look into along with the partys board in the following three days.
If I change my decision today because of you, tomorrow more people will come here I am not saying this because of me or my honesty..
I am saying this because I fear Allah, Imran had said earlier during the day.Later on, another group of protestors, amounting to 1500 to 2000, emerged outside Imrans residence once again.
Imran stated that the matter is being looked after by him for the last 12 hours.
