KARACHI: Former Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) member of Sindh Assembly Irum Azeem Farooque, the other day tweeted that she is joining Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). The announcement comes months after Farooque distanced herself from MQM.
PTI leadership has been in touch with me since a few month and has Respectfully offered me to join them.
