Earlier, Senior Provincial Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb launched a scathing response to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) following their statements on the PP-52 by-elections in Sambrial, calling their behaviour nothing more than a returning “circus.”

According to reports, Marriyum Aurangzeb took on X (former twitter) and wrote, “PTI’s circus is back. Same old script, lies, drama, and non stop whining.”

She added that when there are no results to show, “you cry louder.”

The minister further said, “Defeat looking desperate. Screaming like sore losers because they are sore losers.”

Referring to PTI’s response to the by-election outcome, Marriyum Aurangzeb accused the party of having no clear plan or accountability.

“No plan, no shame, just non stop propaganda as always,” she remarked.

Marriyum Aurangzeb’s remarks came in response to PTI leaders raising objections over the polling process in the PP-52 contest in Sambrial.

Meanwhile, polling for the PP-52 by-election in Sialkot has officially ended, and the counting of votes is now underway.

However, individuals already inside polling stations were still being allowed to cast their votes.
