Faisal Vawda said the peoples sympathies were not with Maulana Fazlur Rehman and categorically stated that the PTI government would complete its constitutional tenure as it was endeavoring to achieve development milestone to put the country on path of prosperity and uplift.

Maulana should wait till next general elections, he added.

He said the PTI government always respected the decisions of the court and struggled for the independent of judiciary.
