Siraj should quit if he dislikes PTI’s policies: Fawad

Author: News Desk

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry said on Sunday that if Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Senator Sirjaul Haq has issues with the PTI, he should first resign from his senatorship which PTI helped him win.

Speaking to media in London after arriving there with PTI chief Imran Khan, Chaudhry said the senator is now finding faults with the PTI and accusing it of corruption after having reaped benefits of being a part of the provincial government with them in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

Terming the JI’s politics as ‘strange’, the PTI leader said Haq went to the Supreme Court against then-prime minister Nawaz Sharif in the Panama Papers scandal but is now allied with Nawaz’s party in the Senate.

Talking to the media in Lahore on Friday, the JI chief had said he had received a call from KP Chief Minister Pervez Khattak asking him for JI’s votes for the Senate chairman’s election due to ‘orders from the top’.
