Marvi Sirmed calls PTI supporters 'selfish arrogant goons'
Marvi Sirmed criticized Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf supporters, describing them as selfish arrogant goons. She expressed concern over the party's possible rise to power due to external influence.

ISLAMABAD - Journalist and activist Marvi Sirmed (pictured) on Monday termed the supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf “selfish arrogant goons.”

In her tweet, she feared that the party of Imran Khan may form the next government with the help of "massive engineering by the establishment". However, she added that within a year the party and Imran Khan will be cornered by “engineers”. And then people like her will have to “stand up for this party of selfish arrogant goons.”

Her rather patronizing and sarcastic tweet said: “What I'm dreading is that if PTI is able to make a govt as a result of this massive engineering in its favour by the establishment, within a year PTI/IK would be cornered by the "engineers". And then, people like me will have to stand up for this party of selfish arrogant goons.”
