SIALKOT: Former federal minister and PPP stalwart Firdous Ashiq Awan joined the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) on Tuesday.
Awan, along with her husband, was a staunch supporter of the PPP until party Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari consolidated his control over the party.
It was reported recently that she had been in contact with PTI leaders and it was speculated that she would be changing her allegiance to PTI soon.
“Firdous Ashiq Awan meets Jahangir Tareen. In a while, she will meet Imran Khan after which she will announce her inclusion into PTI,” a tweet from PTI’s official Twitter account read.
A few hours later, another tweet posted to the PTI account announced her inclusion in the party.
“I have complete confidence in the PTI leadership,” Dr Firdous was reported to have said.
“I will take up the PTI flag as a party worker and contribute towards the movement to build Pakistan,” she added.
“The party’s supporters will build a new Pakistan,” Awan said.
Congratulations PTI; an other jewel in the crown after Raja Riaz
Rest of PPP should also quit flogging a dead horse and ditch this corrupt to the core party, which is still in the hands of Mr 10%.
Congratulation dear and mostwell come for joining us
