Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) disgruntled leader Sardar Latif Khosa on Sunday said he was joining the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) “on the wish” of incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan.

“I have decided this only in the interest of the country and democracy,” he said in a statement adding that he has decided to raise his voice vigorously for the truth. Later, Khosa announced his decision at a press conference in Lahore, wherein the seasoned politician hoped that the politics of hatred would end. He said the country’s Constitution is a civil agreement that has the characteristics of all welfare states. Khosa said the state and the country suffered whenever the Constitution was deviated from.

“The motherland can become prosperous, if we follow the Constitution. The Constitution has a solution for everything if it is implemented in its true spirit,” he said. He said the idea of Pakistan was given by a lawyer, Barrister Muhammed Iqbal, and it was completed by Barrister Muhammed Ali Jinnah. The seasoned politician said the duty of the armed forces is not only to protect the borders but also to assist the state if required during an emergency.
