KARACHI: Former National Assembly Speaker Fehmida Mirza, who developed differences with Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), and her husband and firebrand former PPP leader Zulfiqar Mirza are likely to join Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) soon.
The joining could be a major setback for the PPP, where the Mirza family had a stronghold and had given tough times to their former party during the last held union council elections.
Source privy to contacts between the Mirza family and PTI chairman Imran Khan said that the matters between them are resolved and they would announce their joining in Imran Khan’s next visit to Sindh.
It is pertinent to mention here that the PTI chairman would be visiting the Sindh province next month. The sources further said that Imran Khan and the Mirza’s had met each other in Karachi a few days back and discussed the matters that needed to be sorted out including the Mirza family’s role in PTI’s Sindh politics.
