Politicians not ready to join Khattak’s new party

Peshawar: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarians (PTI-P) political party was founded shortly after Pervez Khattak, a former chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), announced its foundation. However, a number of party members afterwards dissociated themselves from the new political party.

From the list given to the media, seven lawmakers have already declared their separation from Pervez Khattak's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarians (PTI-P).

Leading individuals, including PTI officials Muhammad Jan, Iftikhar Mashwani, Malik Shaukat, Taj Muhammad Khan, Pir Masoor Khan, and Sajida Zulfikar, have all vehemently denied joining a rival political organization.

Azam Khan, a former member from Lower Dir, likewise denied joining PTI-P and vowed to remain faithful to the PTI chief till his death.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Parliamentarians political party was officially founded earlier today by former defense minister Pervez Khattak.

Khattak, who was expelled from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) last week for making derogatory remarks against the party head, has announced the formation of a new political organization.

The termination letter was sent by PTI Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan "with reference to the show cause notice" that was given to Pervez Khattak last month.

According to Khattak, the PTI Parliamentarians include the former chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Mahmood Khan, as well as 57 others former PTI members.
