LAHORE:
PPP Leader from Sheikhupura Rana Abbas Ali Khan, along with 30 others working for the party announced joining the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf (PTI) in a meeting with Chaudhry Sarwar on Tuesday.
Abbas Ali Khan was the PPP candidate for Sheikhupura in the last general elections, and had joined PPP in 2012 after quitting PML-N.
PPP Sharakpur tehsil president Rana Riasat Ali, former nazims Sabir Husain Bhatti, Saeed Shah, Yaqoob Butt, Munir Dogar and Hafiz Usman, former councilors Wasif Shah, Waqar Shah, Atif Kamboh, Abdul Wali Khan, Farooqabad Anjuman Tajraan chairman Ahmed Maqbool and others expressed confidence in the leadership of PTI chief Imran Khan and joined his party.
PTI Punjab Organiser Sarwar claimed that the PPP’s corruption and looting spree had devastated its leaders and PTI was their only hope to move forward for progress. Sarwar further claimed that PTI would be fully prepared to contest the upcoming local government elections, alleging that PML-N and PPP had given nothing to people except loadshedding, price hike and joblessness, which had resulted in the masses rejecting these parties.
He claimed the PTI would win local bodies elections because the people were supporting its policies.
