Another major player in the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, Inamullah Niazi from Mianwali, parted ways with the party on Wednesday after being infuriated with the Sharifs for not giving him due rights and status in the party. After resigning from the PML-N’s basic membership, Niazi, a cousin of PTI chairman Imran Khan, appears all set to join the PTI. Niazi, former PML-N senior vice president for Punjab and candidate from NA-71 (Mianwali-I), announced his departure in a press conference held at the Lahore Press Club. His brother, former MPA Najeebullah Niazi, also announced to quit the party.
Talking to reporters, Niazi said a tumult was afoot in the PML-N after his disassociation. However, he denied joining the PTI, saying he would decide his political course after taking the masses of his constituency into in confidence. “Who are Zahid Hamid, Anusha Rehman and Abdul Qadir Baloach to dictate to Javed Hashmi and me,” he said, adding that “Hashmi and my departures are just the beginning and a real show of defection lies ahead”. Calling Rana Sanaullah a person with a fake moustache, he said the people should ask Sanaullah the way he was running the affairs of the province. “If he does not tell, I will expose him,” he concluded. He predicted that the party’s genuine workers were leaving and what is left would be “Khawajgan” and “Khawaja saras”. Niazi said Pakistan could not afford family politics anymore. He said he was aggrieved that those who kept the party flag hoisted during Musharraf’s era were cornered, but cronies of dictators were accommodated and awarded major slots in the party. Niazi said his family stood with the PML-N for three generations, but he was now addressing the people with a sobbing heart.
Dear Inam ullah Niazi i am with you
