Former parliamentarian and niece of former president Sardar Farooq Ahmed Khan Leghari, Ayla Malik, on Thursday called on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and after a detailed meeting, decided to join the PTI. Talking to Pakistan Today, Ayla said she had discussed with Imran Khan her agenda for the progress and prosperity of the people of her area and she had decided to support the struggle for change in the country. She said Imran was representing the aspirations of the 90 percent people of the country and his party’s agenda had impressed her a lot. “Imran’s commitment to the empowerment of women and the powerless people is impressing and this is why youth are joining his party with a hope that it would bring about a positive change in the country. This was also my priority and that is the reason I have joined the PTI,” she added. Ayla Malik is the sister of MNA Sumaira Malik and both are granddaughters of Nawab of Kalabagh. She had joined the Farooq Leghari-led Millat Party in 1999 and later became an MNA on Millat Party’s reserve seat for women. Ayla again served as MNA from year 2002 to 2007 and worked untiringly for the uplift of the people of Mianwali.
